- Description
- 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 Triangle Research Labs, LLC 200 Garrett Rd, Charlottesville, VA 22902, pursuant to 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1)--Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This request is for Cryopreserved human hepatocytes as follows: 1) Catalog Number - HUCPI/ Lot Number HUM4080 - Cryopreserved human hepatocytes, induction qualified, Qty 60 vials each. NTP Laboratories requires high quality palatable (cryopreserved) primary human hepatocytes compatible with 96-well format. Lot characterization data is needed to provide 96-well compatibility data, and the majority of cryopreserved hepatocyte lots to date fail to form suitable quality cultures in 96-well formats. Extensive laboratory work is needed to choose lots of cells that are compatible with 96-well liver enzyme induction assays. In previous experiments we evaluated multiple lots of cells and found that lot HUM4080 cells (only available at Triangle Research Laboratories) produced high quality monolayers (in 96-well format) and liver enzyme induction data. We require additional cells from this specific human donor lot for evaluation of additional chemical evaluations and model development is which these criteria are needed to continue ongoing research. 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 with 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 Triangle Research Labs, LLC. The NAICS Code/Size is 541711/500. 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. There is no solicitation package available. For any questions regarding this announcement, please contact Tanya Shields via email shields3@niehs.nih.gov.
