- Description
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Acquisitions and Grant Services intends to award a sole source, firm fixed-price contract to Waters Technologies Corporation for the procurement of a Workgroup System Upgrade for Waters Aquity Class H Liquid Chromatography Instruments currently in use at the San Juan Laboratory. The current instrument software in these instruments is specific to an outdated Windows XP platform. The current FDA equipment runs on Windows 7 platform 64-bit, and the instruments are not compatible with this platoform. Therefore, an upgrade to the instrument software to Empower 3 is required for the use of the liquid chromatography instruments. As the manufacturer of the Waters Aquity UPLC/HPLC instruments, Waters Technologies Corporation is the only vendor qualified to provide the necessary upgrades to the instruments. Waters Technologies Corporation is the only manufacturer-authorized seller of the Empower 3 software. The proposed simplified acquisition action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b). Interested parties may identify their interests and capabilities to respond to the requirement prior to the response date of this notice. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotations, or any other solicitation document. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed simplified acquisition 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 requirement. Any cost incurred by the interest party will be at the expense of the interested party. No further solicitation is available. FDA will consider all responses received prior to the closing date of this notice and will use responses in determining whether it is necessary to use full and open competition for this requirement. Reponses shall be emailed to Robin Goon at Robin.Goon@fda.hhs.gov no later than 12:00pm EST on June 29, 2017.
