- Description
- Statement of Work Justification Pursuant to FAR 13.106(b), USDA, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), intends to award a sole source supply contract in that only one source and no other supplies will satisfy agency requirements. The contract will be a firm-fixed price contract under FAR PART 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items with Gerstel, Inc., 701 Digital Dr. Ste J, Linthicum, MD, 21090-2259. The USDA-APHIS-S&T-CPHST Miami Laboratory located at 13601 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables, FL 33158, has a requirement for an all-in-one Sampler that is capable of automated sample preparation and sample introduction techniques. The statement of work (SOW) and sole source justification are attached. The Sampler must be able to integrate with an existing Agilent Gas Chromatograph Mass Selective Detection (GC/MSD) System already located at the CPHST Miami Laboratory. The CPHST Miami Laboratory's Chemistry Unit develops methodology for the evaluation of agricultural screening tools and fumigation monitors. Methodology developed is a definitive procedure that tests the 'field readiness' value of the agricultural screening tool and fumigation monitor. These definitive procedures serve as a quality control component which necessitates the need for a Sampler that utilizes one method/sequence that operates the complete GC/MSD system, thereby reducing the risk of errors. The requirement is essential to meeting the government's needs. All responsible sources capable providing the supply item listed above (and detailed in the attached SOW and justification) may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. The response must explain completely and in detail how the item meets each characteristic indicated in the justification and SOW (see attached). Interested sources who submit data are responsible for appropriately marking information if it is proprietary in nature. The Government will not reimburse participants for information they provide. This is a notice of intent to sole source with fair opportunity for all responsible sources to see the solicitation and respond if capable. Information provided is strictly voluntary. Please email responses to Patricia Simon at patricia.m.simon@aphis.usda.gov no later than the time indicated below. Telephonic inquiries will not be honored. Closing date for submission is 08/19/2016, at 5:00 p.m. central time. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) is 334516 with a small business size standard of less than 1000 employees.
