- Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE 1.Solicitation Number: HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-SBSS-17-224 2.Title: Gilson Systems Maintenance Agreement 3.Classification Code: J - Maintenance, repair and rebuilding of equipment 4.NAICS Code: 811310 - Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance Description: This is a Small Business Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources; (2) whether they are small businesses; HUBZone small businesses; service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses; 8(a) small businesses; veteran-owned small businesses; woman-owned small businesses; or small disadvantaged businesses; and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice. This notice is issued to help determine the availability of qualified companies technically capable of meeting the Government requirement and to determine the method of acquisition. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals or quotes. No award will be made as a result of this notice. The Government will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by the respondents to this notice. This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only. Background: The mission of the NCGC is to apply the tools of small molecule screening and discovery to the development of chemical probe research tools, for use in the study of protein and cell functions, and biological processes relevant to physiology and disease. In our research, we need to assess the biological utility of small molecules, prepared in our laboratory. This determination relies on the purity and correct identity of the compound of interest. Here at the NIH Chemical Genomics Center, we are engaged in various research activities, including, but not limited to, high-throughput screening, parallel synthesis, assay optimization and bioconjugate preparation. This is an integral part of our purification instrumentation as it is both an injector and a fraction collector. When integrated into existing equipment, it draws the sample into the system. After the sample flows through the system, this same piece of equipment collects the pure sample into individual test tubes. We need to assess the biological utility of small molecules, prepared in our laboratory. Every experiment done in our lab requires solvent for synthesis and purification, specifically HPLC purification where a high volume of fractions containing purified sample are produced. This equipment to be maintained increases the current capacity of the lab by allowing more samples to be purified in a shorter period of time. It is a unique piece of instrumentation that is currently covered by the manufacturer's warranty to expire on June 30, 2016. The request is for a Service Agreement that covers all service repairs, software upgrades, and one Preventative Maintenance (PM visit for the requested will increase the current capacity of our lab so we can purify more samples in a shorter period of time. The increasing number of chemists in our group synthesizing requires additional equipment to meet the demand of increasing number of target molecules being produced. This is a unique piece of instrumentation. This request is for a Service Agreement that covers all service repairs and one Preventative Maintenance (PM) visit for the specified equipment for one 12-month base and 4 12-month option years. Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this acquisition is to maintain service agreement for Gilson Systems. Project requirements: The vendor must provide Extended Warranty Agreement and Preventative Maintenance for the following: Extended Warranty Equipment Equipment: SID1743Serial Number *WARRANTY EXTENSION, FOR GX-271 LIQUID HANDLER260G9N217 *Includes the following components: GX-271 Prep Solvent System260F9H040 Direct Injection Module260F9J048 Extended Warranty Equipment Description: SID1861Serial Number WARRANTY EXTENSION, 333 PUMP380F8C224 WARRANTY EXTENSION, 334PUMP380L8D436 Extended Warranty Equipment Equipment: SID2173Serial Number WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR GX-281 LIQUID HANDLER*261G4G021 *Includes the following components: GX-281 Z Drive261E4L019 GX-281 Prep Solvent System261F4H022 GX-281 Direct Injection Module261G4J066 WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 333 H3 PUMP381G4C010 WARRATNY EXTENSION FOR 334 H3 PUMP381H4D011 WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 159 UV/VIS DETECTORDNA142716002 WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR VALVEMATE II330G9C083 Preventative Maintenance Agreement Description: SID1743Serial Number GX-271 Prep Solvent System260F9H042 GX-271 Direct Injection Module260F9J048 306 Pump360F8D275 306 Pump360H8D378 155 UV/VIS Detector100G9G016 Valvemate330G9C081 Valvemate330G9C082 Description: SID1861Serial Number GX-281 Prep Solvent System261M0G029 GX-281 Direct Injection Module261H0J072 333 H3 Pump380F8C224 334 H3 Pump380L8D436 155 UV/VIS Detector101B0G008 Description: SID2173Serial Number GX-281Prep Solvent System261F4H022 GX-281 Direct Injection Module261G4J066 333 H3 Pump381G4C010 334 H3 Pump381H4D011 159 UV/VIS DetectorDNA142716002 Valvemate330G9C083 Preventative Maintenance (PM) Procedures: 1.(271) Replace rotor seal of prep solvent system & direct injection module 2.(281) Replace rotor seals of solvent system and direct injection modules 3.(306) Rebuild pump heads, replacing check valves, seals 4.(306) Replace return spring 5.(333) Rebuild pump heads, replacing check valves and seals 6.(15x) Replace UV lamps, clean flow cell 7.(Vmate) Replace valve rotor seal 8.(Vmate) Inspect and clean valve PM Parts Breakdown - SID1743 MachinePart DescriptionQty.
