- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT AND NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park NC, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Agilent Technologies Inc, Wilmington DE 19808, pursuant to 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1)--Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This purchase is for renewal of a one (1) year maintenance agreement on the Cold Probe System -UI600-S010920, Mark2 Cryo Cooling System up to 650MHz, Crosslab Silver Cryogenic, Adv Silver Cryogenic System; POS: Service includes parts for corrective maintenance of complete Cold Probe systems and Probes Plus scheduled maintenance. The period of service is 7/31/15 - 7/30/16. The instrument, comprised of multiple components, has a cryogenically cooled probe for the study on enzymes that process normal and damaged DNA, as well as studies of ligand-macromolecule interactions. The instrument requires specific technical support to maintain the level of precision necessary for complex measurements. Since engineers at Agilent designed the instrument and cryoprobe, the company provides field service engineers who are specially trained in the repair and maintenance of this particular equipment. Agilent does not authorize resellers of their instruments in the United States therefore only Agilent has the complete schematic diagrams, can supply factory authorized replacement parts and provide the proprietary software necessary for proper instrument operation. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability. Respond to this requirement by submitting written capabilities/specifications to the Purchasing Agent at the address stated above. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received within 8 days from the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 8 days of this notice to determine whether a qualified source is more advantageous to the Government, an order will be placed with Agilent Technologies Inc. The NAICS Code/Size is 811219/$19.M. This procurement is to be processed using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in conjunction with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items and is not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition threshold of $150,000.
