This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-CSS-2017-251 and the solicitation is issued as request for quotation (RFQ) 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 associated NAICS code 334516 and the small business size standard 1000 employees. This requirement is set aside for small business. The purpose of this requirement is to disassemble, remove, and transport robotic screening equipment from a facility operated by Merck in North Wales, PA to NIH/NCATS in Rockville, MD. Background: Background: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation's leading medical research agency. Its mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability, conducting, supporting and making medical discoveries that improve people's health and save lives. The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and requires the disassembly and transportation of two robotic screening systems. These are two (2) robotic screening systems that are very similar in design and function to the two most heavily used screening systems at NCATS; the Kalypsys primary screening system and the Tox21 Robot. Both of these systems are comprised of robotic arms and all of the necessary platform equipment such as external guarding; robotic bases; electrical junction boxes and cabinets and a variety of other components. Associated with the core components of the system are the peripheral devices; ranging from liquid handlers, pin tools, plate incubators and compound storage carousels. All of these associated peripherals coupled with the robotic work cells are what comprise an automated screening system. NCATS is currently in the process of purchasing this equipment. One of the requirements to completing this purchase is to fully disassemble and remove the equipment from the facility as operated by Merck in North Wales, PA. The objective of this project is to complete the disassembly and removal of an uHTS System, Cell Culture System, and Miscellaneous spare parts, documentation, lids, etc. from Merck's facility and to transport it to NCATS in Rockville, MD. Vendor is responsible for: 1.Equipment Preparation Systems The systems should be disassembled in such as manner as to make it relatively easy to reassemble in a new location. In general, the cables and other electrical parts will be crated, labeled and stored on a per work-cell or per system basis. Contractor and NCATS personnel will work together to perform certain critical tasks and to supervise the movers and other subcontractors. The critical tasks include: •Removal and packing of computers and associated equipment •Back up of all programs The systems should be disassembled for local transport and storage. The following components should be shipped and stored as-is (i.e. not on pallets or in crates): •Pintools •Pintool pump stations •Incubators/carousels •Unloading station •Operator workstations with robot controllers •Reader tables The following components will be shipped and stored either on pallets or in crates: •Cables •Robots & robot pedastals •Deck structure and plates •Lids •Spare parts •Miscellaneous components (recirculation pumps, glasswear, etc.) 2.Equipment Move The equipment must be loaded into closed trucks (moving vans) and shipped to a warehouse facility in the Rockville, MD area. The equipment will be offloaded and placed in the warehouse. Equipment that is not needed by the government is to be discarded by the contractor. This determination will be made during disassembly.
