The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 811219, and the size standard is $20.5M This notice of intent to award is not a request for competitive quotations. Interested concerns capable of providing the same or similar products or services as described in this notice may submit a capability statement outlining their capabilities. No solicitation is available. Information received will be evaluated for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Capability Statements must be received within the time set forth in this synopsis to be considered by the Government. A determination to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The following verbiage is directly from the Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC). The Department of Laboratory Medicine, Microbiology Service, is in need for a preventative maintenance contract to secure proper output on the Biomerieux instrument NucliSENS easyMAG, S/N 00843. The instrumentation provides rapid, efficient, and sensitive extraction of nucleic acid (DNA) from clinical samples. This platform has allowed us to develop novel tests to detect organisms in patient samples. Proper maintenance of the equipment and a reliable instrument exchange program is critical to providing these important patient care results. Inability to use this instrumentation could result in unnecessary isolation of patients or lack of isolation for infectious diseases that might be spread to hospital personnel or other patients. The easyMAG has proven reliability and offers the flexibility to run our PCR assays with results attained within 70 minutes. Our laboratory can thus incorporate specialty testing into routine workloads improving productivity and efficiency. We require telephone support within 24 hours followed by in-house service, return to base or factory service as needed. Service will included parts, labor, travel, shipping and annual preventative maintenance. The vendor shall supply the necessary maintenance services to the instrumentation in the Microbiology Service at NIH The proposed vendor, BioMerieux, Inc., is the sole manufacturer, vendor and service provider for the easyMAG instrument. BioMerieux does not authorize any third party companies to service their equipment. All responses are due to the Contract Specialist within 15 calendar days from the date of this synopsis.
