FDA-15-223-SOL-1152366 with Schedule of Items This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This requirement is being issued in conjunction with FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures and FAR 13.5 Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. The solicitation number is FDA-15-223-SOL-1152366 and this solicitation is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-83 dated August 03, 2015. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is- 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; Small Business Size Standard is 500 employees. This RFQ is issued as full and open competition. Contract Type: Commercial Item - Firm Fixed Price. REQUIREMENTS Part I: General Information (Introduction/Background/Scope) The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR), offices of Microbiology Surveillance and Research Animal Diagnostic and Investigative Laboratory (Micro RADIL), within the Office of Scientific Coordination, conduct basic and applied research to support regulatory decision-making recommendations. This microbiology research involves the isolation, identification, and characterization of microorganisms potentially harmful to animals and humans and includes monitoring and evaluation of the sanitation levels of animal rooms, caging, equipment, and cage washing facilities. The microbiological monitoring of the test animals helps maintain the integrity of the research program by guarding against both primary and opportunistic pathogens that may interfere with research results. Formerly, Micro RADIL used a sterilization system with an ethylene-oxide base unit. Ethylene-oxide is a highly toxic gas that is flammable, carcinogenic, and can cause damage to multiple organs (kidneys, lungs, the reproductive system, liver, upper respiratory tract, skin, eyes, and central nervous system). To ensure operator and environmental safety, the new system shall operate with low temperatures and dry, Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) methods. Hydrogen peroxide is a non-flammable, colorless, odorless liquid and is listed as GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe). Dry VHP is produced by vaporization of 35% liquid hydrogen peroxide and maintaining the vapor concentration below the dew point throughout the sterilization cycle. VHP rapidly degrades in the environment to water vapor and oxygen; non-toxic innocuous byproducts. Scope The contractor shall provide a Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Bio Decontamination Sterilization System inclusive of inside delivery, installation, training, and up to four (4) option years of post-warranty preventive and corrective maintenance.

(d) The Contracting Officer may not make an award to the offeror, if the offeror fails to execute the certification in paragraph (a) of this provision or to contact the Contracting Officer as required in paragraph (c) of this provision. The provision at FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items (Oct 2014) is applicable to this solicitation. (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (i) Technical Capability of the Offered Equipment to meet the Government's requirement; (ii) Price Technical capability is more important when compared to price. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
