Description

Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Representation by Corporations Regarding an Unpaid Delinquent Tax Liability or a Felony Conviction Under Any Federal Law (Class Deviation) (March 2015) Maintenance Requirements THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN FAR SUBPART 12.6-STREAMLINED PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION AND SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS-AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 05-82, effective May 7, 2015. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing - with a small business size standard of 500 employees. This acquisition is being procured using full-and-open competition. Simplified acquisition procedures will be utilized. The Biosystems and Biomaterials Division, of the Material Measurement Laboratory at NIST, develops and applies standards and methods for all analytical and bio-analytical measurements to ensure bioassay performance for identification and quantitation of molecular and biological species. The Division works to improve the quality and reliability of measurements in the biological sciences through supporting a broad range of health, defense, environmental, and energy research related activities and customers. The Division uses state-of-the-art techniques and methods to explore and resolve measurement issues in molecular biology, nano-biotechnology, immunology, biophysical chemistry, molecular spectrometry and surface chemistry. NIST requires a microarray system that can measure the levels of thousands of nucleic acid molecules (DNA or RNA). The system must consist of commercially prepared microarrays and reagents, chambers for the hybridization reaction of labeled sampled to the array, a fluidics station for processing the array, a scanner to measure fluorescence signal in the spot, and a computer with software for the analysis of the data. The commercially available microarrays must include arrays specific for the genes from Chinese Hamster Ovary cells, humans, and mice. These are the major species used for production of biopharmaceuticals. NIST is developing standards for the biomanufacturing of health products from the aforementioned organisms. This is a Brand Name or Equal Requirement. Brand name or equal description is intended to be descriptive, but not restrictive. It is to indicate the quality and salient characteristics of products that are considered satisfactory to meet the agency's requirement. Reference Attachment for Solicitation.
