- Description
- This is the Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition (JOFOC). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a fixed-price contract on a sole source basis to PerkinElmer Health Sciences, Inc., Shelton, CT for a SciClone NGSx Workstation. This platform is the only one the Government has identified that can be used to produce DNA sequencing libraries for multiple types of next-generation sequencers in CDC laboratories. The SciClone NGSx Workstation is pre-programmed with vetted programming to produced multiple formats of Illumina and Pacific Biosciences libraries. The Government cannot accept scripts that "can be modified" or the will "help the Government develop and adjust" after installation. The SciClone NGSx Workstation is be a high-capacity version of the system, able to produce over 400 DNA libraries in a five-day span. The SciClone NGSx Workstation must be enclosed by a physical barrier to prevent contamination of samples. The system maintains continuity of the robotic systems in CDC laboratories, which allows the Government to use the same consumables and accessories (pipet tips, tubes, plastic ware such as 96-well plates). The SciClone NGSx Workstation does not protrude over the edge of the lab bench where it will be placed; therefore, the dimensions of the system's footprint shall have a depth value not to exceed 29". The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for this requirement is 334516. 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 Part 6.302-1 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 three (3) 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 be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to the Contract Specialist, Lee Catherine Kennedy, at LCKennedy@cdc.gov by 2:00pm EST, Friday, 10 April 2015.
