- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Illumina Inc. at 5200 Illumina Way, San Diego, CA 912121 to provide repair services for one year on the NIST owned Illumina cBot S/N 3002262, HiSeq2500 S/N D00360, and MiSeq S/N M02153. The sole source justification is based on the following: NIST owns and operates the above specified Illumina branded equipment. In order to maintain operation, NIST requires repair services according to the repair protocols which must be performed by a manufacturer certified technician using Illumina branded repair parts. Market research has shown that Illumina is the sole authorized provider of software updates, certified service technicians and repair services for these instruments and has no authorized third-party service providers. Given these facts, the preferred vendor, Illumina Inc., is the only source reasonably available to provide the requirement maintenance and repair services for the cBot S/N 3002262, HiSeq2500 S/N D00360, and MiSeq S/N M02153. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm Fixed Price purchase order. The NAICS Code is 811219 with a size standard of $20,500,000.00. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, responses received by 11:00 am EST July 8th, 2016, will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
