- Description
- The U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity, 820 Chandler St., Fort Detrick, Maryland, 21702, intends to award a sole source contract to Bio-Rad Laboratories for maintenance and repair of a Bio-Plex 200 System with HTF for the U.S. Army Center for Environmental Health Research (USACEHR). The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(2). The FAR citation is 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Bio-Rad Laboratories is uniquely qualified to provide the required service as it is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). As the OEM, Bio-Rad Laboratories possesses the qualification to perform repairs, upgrades and preventive maintenance (PM) services on the very delicate and advanced Bio-Plex 200 system. Due to the highly specialized nature of the experiments being conducted, it is important to maintain system consistency, and Bio-Rad Laboratories reagents can only be used on Bio-Rad Laboratories equipment. Since the Bio-Plex 200 system is relatively new to the market, no other known sources are capable of adequately performing this needed service. RFQ W81XWH-15-T-0171 will be issued on a sole source basis. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 811219 and the small business size standard is $20.5M. Any sources that believe they are eligible to provide these services must respond in writing or respond to the RFQ. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence which articulates the ability to perform the services outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered an affirmative response. Information received will be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. If no written responses are received by the date listed below, which reflects fifteen (15) days after the publication of this notice, the purchase order will be awarded without further remark. All questions and responses concerning this notice shall be emailed to Ms. Samantha L. Connors at samantha.l.connors.civ@mail.mil. Interested concerns must identify their capability to the above email address no later than 4:00 PM Eastern Time, 28 April 2015.
