- Description
- This is a notice of the Government's intent to solicit and award a sole source contract to Steris Corporation ("Steris"), 5960 Heisley Road, Mentor OH 44060 for ISO17025 - Lab Instruments Scheduled Preventative Maintenance Services and Emergency Repairs. USDA/FSIS has performed extensive validation on this maintenance and has identified Steris as the only company which can provide the required Preventative Maintenance that will not void the warranty of the instruments. This procurement will be conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy agency requirements. Authority: 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1). The equipment will be serviced at our Eastern Laboratory in Athens GA, Midwestern Lab in St. Louis MO, and the Western Lab in Alameda, CA. The Midwestern Lab will also require an adequate OEM parts inventory on hand for decreased maintenance downtimes. It is anticipated that this procurement will be conducted as a Commercial Item acquisition under FAR Part 12. It is also anticipated that a firm-fixed price contract will be awarded for a 12 month period of performance. This is not a request for quotations or an announcement of a forthcoming solicitation. Request for copies of this solicitation will not be honored or acknowledged. The Government does not intend to pay for information received. All interested parties must respond within ten (10) days from the date of this notice. Written responses must provide clear and concise documentation indicating your firm's capability to provide the necessary maintenance. Verbal responses are not acceptable and will not be considered. When responding to this announcement, respondents should refer to Announcement AG-3A94-S-15-0030. If after May 4, 2015, no viable responses have been received in response to this announcement, USDA/FSIS shall negotiate solely with the Steris Corporation.
