- The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Molecular Imaging Program (MIP), plans to procure on a sole source basis a minimum of 5 boxes and a maximum of 290 boxes of disposable prostate endorectal coils from Bayer HealthCare LLC 100 Global View Dr. Warrendale, PA 15086. This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 12 - Acquisition for Commercial Items and will be made pursuant to the authority in FAR 13.106-1 (b)(2) and 13.501-(a)(1) using simplified acquisition procedures for commercial acquisitions. The North American Industry Classification System code is 339113 and the employee size standard is 500. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract/IDIQ. It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. Period of Performance will be for a period of five (5) years from award date. The Molecular Imaging Program (MIP), Center for Cancer Research (CCR), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) is focused on the development of advanced imaging tools to further the detection and treatment of cancer in humans. As part of the lab's clinical effort, the Molecular Imaging Clinic performs MRI studies on various research patients on a 3.0T scanner. A majority of the scans involve a prostate endorectal coil in human patients. The Molecular Imaging Clinic performs MRI studies on various research patients on a 3.0T scanner. A majority of the scans involve a prostate endorectal coil in human patients. Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor in men and the second most common cause of cancer death in men. Improving detection and identification of the cancer with MRI is a significant step in improving the techniques of managing the patient. Thus, MIP has the need to procure disposable prostate endorectal coils. The coils are an essential and important part of the lab's research in the Molecular Imaging Clinic. Contractor Requirements: • Contractor shall have in stock a minimum of 5 Boxes per month of disposable prostate endorectal coils with a significant higher signal to noise ratio than surface coils and sensitivity required for spectroscopy. • Coils must be compatible with the existing Philips 3.0T MRI. • Coils must be commercially available and FDA-approved. • Coils must pass the Philips endorectal imaging quality test on the Philips 3.0T MRI Bayer HealthCare is the only source known to have the disposable endorectal coils needed to meet the Molecular Imaging Program (MIP)'s requirements stated above. MIP has been using these coils since the clinic opened in 2009. MIP must continue to purchase these coils in order to avoid the introduction of new variables into the experimental results and to avoid long delays resulting from the retesting of other coils from other potential vendors. Changing variables at this time would result in possibly an incorrect interpretation of the research in progress. This notice is not a request for competitive quotation. However, if any interested party, especially small business believes it can meet the above requirement, it may submit a proposal or quote for the Government to consider.
