- Description
- Contracting Office Address Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Office of Acquisitions, 9609 Medical Center Drive, Room 1E224, Bethesda, MD 20852, UNITED STATES. Description The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Cancer Center Research (CCR), Office of Research Operations plans to procure on a sole source basis an Rees Scientific Enterprise Centron environmental monitoring system software and hardware upgrade and calibration for the existing Government-owned Rees Scientific monitoring system for Equipment Housing Research Specimens from Rees Scientific Corporation, 1007 Whitehead Road Ext., Trenton, New Jersey 08638. This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 12 - Acquisition for Commercial Items and will be made pursuant to the authority in FAR 13.106-1 (b) using simplified acquisition procedures for commercial acquisitions. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 811219 and the business size standard is $19.0 Million. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. The period of performance shall be as follows: Base Period: June 19, 2017 - June 18, 2018 Option Period One (1): June 19, 2018 - June 18, 2019 Option Period Two (2): June 19, 2019 - June 18, 2020 It has been determined that there is no opportunity to acquire green products or services under this contract. This contract will upgrade NCI's current monitoring system to the latest version of equipment available and provide maintenance for one year and two additional options, if exercised. The new equipment will be compatible with equipment installed in 2015. The NIH NCI CCR Office of Research Operations requested contract is for continuation of the Rees Monitoring-Alarm System that provides support for branches and laboratories, located in the Center for Cancer Research of the National Cancer Institute. The laboratories are located in Buildings 10, 37, 41 and 50. The system currently has 580 sensors monitoring the function of selected equipment, including freezers, refrigerators, incubators, and cold rooms, which contain research material critical to programs in the Center, including several that support clinical trials. Monitoring is required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory authorities. If a sensor triggers an alarm, the system notifies preselected NIH staff by telephone, e-mail, and/or pager. The system relentlessly attempts to make contact, continually cycling through the list of scientists, until one responds by telephone or through the Internet. Using telephone, e-mail or Internet connections, scientists can monitor equipment responses to corrective actions. Moreover, the system maintains long-term records generated by the sensors, which provides historical data of equipment performance. Both real time and historical data are accessible in a secure fashion. Data are stored on a CRC server, backed up by a second server. Research conducted at the National Cancer Institute generates samples that require storage at specific temperatures in various freezers, incubators and cold rooms in many locations. The temperature of this equipment is monitored by a Rees Monitoring System. If equipment were to fail, the monitoring system would alert the NCI researcher in time to recover valuable material. Maintenance and calibration of this equipment is necessary to protect the investment of the National Cancer Institute. 1.0 SCOPE: The Contractor shall provide all labor, material, supplies and equipment for the preventive maintenance and emergency service on Rees Scientific Monitoring System in the NCI Buildings 10, 37, 41 and 50. All maintenance service shall be performed in accordance with the manufacturer's standard commercial maintenance practices. 2.0 DETAILED TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: • The Contractor shall provide all labor, material, supplies and equipment for the preventive maintenance and emergency service on Rees Scientific Monitoring System. • The Contractor shall provide new Z3 monitors to each of the 580 pieces of equipment including freezers, incubators, cold rooms. These new monitors will require less maintenance and will be Wi-Fi compatible. • These new monitors shall be compatible with NCI's existing software: Rees Enterprise Version 3.0 • Upon receipt of notice that any part of the equipment is not functioning properly, the Contractor shall furnish a qualified, factory-trained service representative to inspect the equipment and perform all repairs and adjustments necessary to restore the equipment to normal and efficient operating condition. The NCI is not aware of any contractor that could integrate with or replace the current Rees Monitoring System in a cost effective fashion and offer a track record of maintaining a large Rees Monitoring System for clinically critical equipment. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: Service shall be performed at the following locations: NIH NCI CCR Office of Research Operations 9000 Rockville Pike Buildings 10, 37, 41 and 50 Bethesda, MD 20892 This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested parties, especially small businesses, believe they can meet the above requirement, they may submit a statement of capabilities.
