- Description
- Sole Source Justification The Centers for Disease Control and prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to RainDance Technologies for a RainDrop Digital PCR System. RainDrop Digital PCR (dPCR) enables reliable, absolute quantification of rare gene sequences in very small quantities of samples fast. The RainDance instrumentation is capable of separating samples into 10 million partitions per sample, making it by far the instrument with the largest dynamic range and sensitivity currently on the market. It can detect targets over a much wider concentration range than competing instruments. This ability could be critical for detecting targets in clinical specimens, especially when only a small amount of sample is available. More partitions result in greater sensitivity. RainDrop operation costs only three cents per 10,000 reactions, as well. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within five (5) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to contract specialist, Meghan Plantz, at xbq0@cdc.gov by 12:00pm on 29 November 2014.
