- Description
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture, ARS, WBSC, Stoneville, Mississippi, intends to award a sole source procurement to Steris Corporation, 5960 Hensley Road, Mentor, OH 44060 under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1 to provide a AMSCO 250LS Small Steam Sterilizer 20" x 20" x 38" and options with Installation Service, De-Installation, less Trade In Value, and S&H. There is a need to replace an existing AMSCO sterilizer that has been in use at the USDA, ARS, Honey Bee Breeding, Genetics and Physiology Research Unit, in Baton Rouge, LA since ~1978. The unit has been a workhorse for the facility, but parts are becoming rare. This exact unit is required as the replacement to ensure that it will fit the space in which the current unit is located. The sterilizer being sought has the required dimensions for the space; it also has a relatively compact footprint for its chamber volume, which affords the maximum capacity in the smallest floor space. Both of these aspects are required given the existing space limitations. Finally, the trade-in allowance is an advantage that would not be received if the AMSCO sterilizer was substituted with one from a different vendor. USDA-ARS source research indicates that Steris Corporation is the only known company to provide this exact model and sized steam sterilizer with trade in allowance for an older unit. The package will include: AMSCO® 250LS Small Steam Sterilizer, 20" x 20" x 38" (508 x 508 x 965 mm), ATLAS Loading Car, Transfer Carriage, & Track Assembly 20x20x38" (Single Door) Installation - 20 Inch Lab 250(LS) Electric Sterilizer Installation of Electric Sterilizers In Georgia To Cover State Permits Install Cabinet Pkg on the unit Trade-In of 20" Century Sterilizer De-installation of Small Sterilizer Disposal of Sterilizer Shipping and handling Pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements The equipment will be located at the USDA, ARS, Honey Bee Breeding, Genetics and Physiology Research Unit, in Baton Rouge, LA. The Government intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order on or about September 2, 2016. This Notice of Intent is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
