GLERL previously purchased a quantity of one (1) Environmental Sample Processor. Technical and Logistical support for the Environmental Sample Processor is required from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute located in Moss Landing, CA 95039. Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute has been identified as the only known source that can provide the needed technical and logistical support for the Environmental Sample Processor as specified below that will also meet the Government’s intended use. The requested service (see information below) is provided solely by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and the only known qualified source due to the proprietary nature of this service. Any attempt to provide this service from a source other than the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute would require that the Government re-qualify the service at considerable cost to the Government whose cost savings could not be recovered using open competition. If the GLERL cannot procure the needed technical and logistical support, it will have a negative impact on the GLERL’s ability to effectively monitor harmful algal bloom(HAB) and toxicity in the Great Lakes. The requirements for the items are as follows: Ø Environmental Sample Processor-G2 o Technical & Logistical Support in accordance with the Statement of Work o Period of Performance: Date of Award through September 30, 2017 The intended procurement is for technical and logistical support services for which the government intends to purchase under the guidelines of FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions Procedures and FAR Part 12 Commercial Items.

All proposals received prior to the close of this notice will be considered by the Government. However, this is not a request for proposals and there is no solicitation available at this time. The Government reserves the right to solicit quotes based on the receipt of affirmative responses to this notice or issue a purchase order to Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, whichever is determined to be more advantageous to the Government without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract 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.
