- Description
- The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health, Division of Laboratory Sciences, intends to award a sole source contract to Hopewell Designs, Inc., 5940 Gateway Drive, Alpharetta, GA 30004 for the purchase of one (1) Gamma Analysis Sample Changer System ("Sample Changer"). The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1 - only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements. The NAICS code for this procurement is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with a size standard of 500. The period of performance for this procurement is three (3) months. The Sample Changer will be an automated Dual Gamma Unit Analysis Sample Changer System that will be mounted between two existing Gross Gamma Emission spectrometers ("Shields"). The Sample Changer will automate the process of sequentially changing same tubes for both Shields. The Sample Changer system must be 100% compatible with the two existing Shields in the Radiation Laboratory in Chamblee, GA. Hopewell Designs, Inc. is the only responsible source capable of meeting all of the Government's requirements. In terms of analytical sensitivity, number of samples, and speed of turning out results, the CDC's gamma emissions measurement systems with their sample changer systems are unique and, to our knowledge, exist nowhere else in the world. Hopewell Designs is the designer and manufacturer of our original and still active Sample Changer systems, and the new Sample Changer will use an improved technology to make it faster and reduce reloading time. Additionally, with respect to its operation, training, maintenance, parts and service, the proposed new Sample Changer will be 100% compatible with the current sample changer systems in our laboratory, thereby avoiding inefficiencies associated with multiple systems from different manufacturers. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps. We will issue only one solicitation to the Hopewell Designs, Inc. However, all responsible sources that believe they can meet these requirements may submit a capabilities statement to provide the services to Tessa Buffington via email ONLY at vsr3@cdc.gov with the solicitation number 2015-Q-17038 referenced in the subject line NO LATER THAN April 17, 2015. All requests must be in writing. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action will be based on responses to this notice and are solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
