- Description
- Sole Source Justification The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NCIRD/DVD, 1600 Clifton Rd. NE, Atlanta, GA, 30333, hereby announces its intent to issue a sole source contract in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 to Atlanta Biologicals, 4172 Industry Way, Flowery Branch, GA 30542, to acquire Fetal Bovine Serum used to isolate poliovirus. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) as cited in FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." The National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease (NCIRD) has a requirement to acquire Fetal Bovine Serum for use in isolating poliovirus, determining polio immune titers, and developing new vaccines. CDC has been utilizing Atlanta Biologicals' Fetal Bovine Serum since 2011 and maintaining this specific reagent is critical to quality control testing for poliovirus isolation and titration. Replacing this specific reagent without extensive and extended validation studies would critically impact CDC's work on the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, and selecting an alternative source would take seveal months to ensure similar yields and identical results to the current product. Responsible sources that believe they possess the expertise and capabilities identified above are encouraged to submit to the Contracting Officer within 15 days from the posting date of this notice, their written capabilities statement, proposal or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Please forward the capability statement and/or pricing information to David Dombeck, Contract Officer, Reference 2015-80812, Centers for Disease Control, Procurement and Grants Office, ATTN: David Dombeck, MS: K-14, 2920 Brandywine Road, Atlanta, GA 30341. All vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to an award of a federal contract. The website is: www.sam.gov. The Government will review any/all capabilities statements and pricing information submitted and determine if other qualified sources do exist that could provide this requirement. Information received in response to this announcement will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 15 days, negotiations will be conducted with Atlanta Biologicals, as the only source and a contract will be issued without any additional notices being posted.
