- Description
- The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (only one responsible source) to ScienCell Research Laboratories, Inc., 2500 Crosspark Road, Suite E232, Coralville, IA, for the delivery of a minimum of two (2) vials and a maximum of 30 vials of amniotic membrane mesenchymal stromal cells that have been frozen down at passage one (1) or earlier, for a base period of 12-months, with four (4), 12-month option periods. This requirement is in support of ongoing research protocols at Naval Medical Research Unit San Antonio (NAMRU-SA), Fort Sam Houston, Texas. No source other than ScienCell Research Laboratories, Inc. can meet the Governments requirements. The stromal cells to be purchased under this IDIQ will be used to build upon and advance the research conducted in previous studies. No stromal cells except those provided by the same company (ScienCell) that provided the cells for the previous research will meet the Governments requirement. ScienCell is the only company that can provide cells compatible with the previous body of historical research and subsequent data that future research will build off of. Any other company's stromal cells are incompatible with the historical data and would require all of the previous research to be re-conducted to establish a body of historical data compatible with a non ScienCell stromal cell. This is impossible due to funding and time constraints. All experiments would require a complete start-over and the resources thus far utilized for the project would be wasted. Therefore, this cell type being used in this project must be obtained from ScienCell in order to enable the completion of the project and allow consistency and continuity of the previously collected historical data. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for the requirement. Sources interested in responding to this notice are required to submit a capability statement that includes management and technical data and cost information in sufficient detail and with convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the capability to perform the required work. Capability statements shall not exceed 5 (8.5 x 11 inch) pages using a font size no smaller than 10-point. All capability statements received by the due date of this notice will be considered by the Government. A request for documentation or additional information or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed with a sole source contract. Capability statements are due by 2:00 PM Local Time, 04 August 2017 (15 days). Capability statements shall be submitted by e-mail ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following addresses: jennifer.m.reed20.civ@mail.mil and thomas.l.hood26.civ@mail.mil.
