- F16PS00347 Notice of Intent to Sole Source genetic sequencer model 3730XL 95 for Genetic Analysis of Native Salmonids from the Lake Pend Oreille and Clark Fork River System, Idaho and Montana. This is a special notice prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.2 ¿ Synopsis of Proposed Contract Actions. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) Contracting and General Services (CGS) Region 1, located at 911 NE 11th Avenue; Portland, Oregon 97232, intends to negotiate and award a sole source Firm-Fixed Price contract to Life Technologies, 5791 Van Allen Way, Carlsbad, CA 92008-7321 USA. The statutory authority for this non-competitive acquisition is 41 U.S. C. 1901 as implement by FAR 13.501(a). All baseline data for work performed between 2004-2015 has a cumulative estimated value of $1,000,0000 for the research studied. Data was collected using a 3130 Genetic Analyzer manufactured by ThermoFisher Scientific. Future data collected must be comparable to past baseline data. Baseline Genetic data requires the data to be collected via a comparable machine to the 3130 Genetic Analyzer. Life Technologies is the sole vendor of the identified compatible machine (I.e. Genetic Sequencer, Model 3730XL95). Machine is compatible with 3130 Genetic Analyzer hardware. These items were developed by, and are patented by the vendor. The patents on the chemicals and the specific equipment design will allow the continued consistency of this long standing study. The current equipment is beyond its life cycle and increases risk to the gathering of critical genetics information. The anticipated award date is on or about March 29, 2015. The delivery date of the resulting contract will start on or about April 1, 2016 and will require completion on or about April 30, 2016. A SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE POSTED.

Vendors must include in their submissions the following information: Company Name and Address; Business Size and Socioeconomic Categories, CAGE Code and DUNS Number. Supporting information shall be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability of the responsible sources to provide a genetic analyzer which is compatible to the existing 3130 Genetic Analyzer and its baseline data. Responsible sources must also demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. The Government is not responsible for any costs incurred for submissions in response to this notice. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
