This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This requirement is a small business set-aside. The combined synopsis/ solicitation number remains the same: HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-2016-701. This acquisition is for a commercial item or service and is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures; FAR Subpart 13.5- Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items; and FAR Part 12-Acquisition of Commercial Items, and is NOT expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The Government contemplates only one award of a Firm-Fixed Price contract. The Associated North America Industry Classification Code (NAICS) 334516 and the Business Size Standard is 500 employees. It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. Background: The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Office of the Scientific Director, requires the replacement of two Government-owned steam sterilizers on NIH main campus in Building 49, Rooms B1B52 and 5B52. The Steris Amsco steam sterilizer, decal 01359196 in 49/5B52 purchased in 1996, is no longer operating or repairable. Additionally, the other Getinge steam sterilizer, decal 01275463 in 49/B1B52, is has a history of shutting down and other costly maintenance issues for the Institute. The Government contemplates a purchase order for the acquisition of two new Laboratory Steam Sterilizer that will provide up to date, reliable steam sterilization for the needs of the many NIMH groups on the NIH campus. Purpose and Objective: The purpose of this acquisition is to acquire and replace laboratory steam sterilizers. Project requirements: The Contractor shall be responsible for providing the following: 1) Design (if applicable), manufacture, shipping, installation of two (2) steam sterilizers with a single inner chamber with dimensions 20 inches wide, 20 inches high and 38 inches deep. 2) Because Building 49 has limited space at the loading dock, we are requiring the contractor contact the project officer (to be given at the time of review of proposals) for: a. Design drawing approval (if applicable) b. Start of manufacture with anticipated time of completion c. Contact at least 1 week before time of shipping to advise the expected delivery/installation date so the Bldg 49 loading dock personnel can be alerted and coordination with the NIH ORF Facility Manager can be made for any utility shutdowns which require minimum 15 day notice. The contractor will have the two steam sterilizers installed immediately at time of delivery on two different floor sites in the same building because this building's loading dock has limited space to allow them to sit more than 1 day. Operations and Maintenance Manuals are to be provided for the sterilizers. The manuals are to be model specific. The period of performance is 5-7 months from receipt of order (notice to proceed). This is 1-2 month of design and approval of drawings if applicable and 4-6 months for manufacturing, delivery and installation.
