- PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE OF INTENT NON-COMPETITIVE INTRODUCTION PURSUANT TO FAR Subpart 5.2-Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions, THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE OF A PROPOSED CONTRACT TO ACTION. THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NON-COMPETITIVE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A CONTRACT OR PURCHASE ORDER WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME). The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Station Support Contracts and Simplified Acquisitions Branch (SS/SA) on behalf of the National Institute on Drug Abuse intends to negotiate and award a contract for a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a Size Standard of 1,000 employees. REGULATORY AUTHORITY The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses of the Federal acquisition Requlation (FAR) in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05-95, 19 Jan, 2017. STATUTORY AUTHORITY This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.106-1 (b) (1), Soliciting from a single source. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT This notice of proposed acquisition is posted as an intent to award a purchase order on a non-competitive basis to: Thermo Electron North America LLC 5225 Verona Road Madison, WI 53711 The essential characteristics of the Thermo's ISQ LT GC-MS that limit the availability to a sole source are its XCalibur software. Only this suggested source can furnish the requirements, to the exclusion of other sources, because other GC-MS software will not be able to run the currently used method and, also, view and process the data collected for the last 14 years. The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed. The current equipment is Thermo's Polaris Q GC-MS, and the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system by its ability to utilize the methods and data generated by the XCalibur software. Project Description The laboratory of PET radiopharmaceutical Sciences (Molecular Imaging Branch) uses a Thermo Scientific gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) for the characterization of organic molecules. The GC-MS is approximately 15 years old and deemed obsolete by the manufacturer. Thus the laboratory needs to replace it to avoid interruption in the GC-MS analysis due to instrument failure. Purpose and Objectives The purpose of this acquisition is to provide the National Institute of Mental Health with a new Gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) that is compatible with existing software and data. The GC-MS shall have all these essential components: (i) gas chromatograph (GC), (ii) autosampler, (iii) mass spectrometer (MS), (iv) computer plus software for operation and (v) vacuum pump. In addition, the GC shall be equipped with split/splitless injector for delivering injected sample onto the capillary column. The MS shall have the set up to detect positive and negative ions and to perform analysis by chemical ionization. The instrument shall be compatible with the currently used GC-MS software, XCalibur. The GC-MS shall be covered by warranty for a period of one year from the date of installation. • ISQ Mass Spectrometer • Tracer 1310 Mainframe • Trace 1300 SSL injector module • CI ISQ • Ion gauge ISQ/TSQ8000 • Autoinjector 1310 for TRACE 1300 • Chromeleon 7.2 software • NIST 2014 MS Library • Ion source assembly • All additional parts and supplies required for operation of the complete system Period of Performance Delivery within sixty (60) days following contractor receipt of order. CLOSING STATEMENT This synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice. Responses to this notice must include sufficient information to establish the interested parties' bona-fide capabilities of providing the product or service. The price quote shall include: unit price, list price, shipping and handling costs, delivery days after contract award, delivery terms, prompt payment discount terms, F.O.B. Point (Destination or Origin), product or catalog number(s); product description; and any other information or factors that may be considered in the award decision. Such factors may include: past performance; special features required for effective program performance; trade-in considerations; probable life of the item selected as compared with that of a comparable item; warranty considerations; maintenance availability; and environmental and energy efficiency considerations. In addition the Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS), the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and the certification of business size must be included in the response. All offerors must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) www.sam.gov." A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to proceed on a non-competitive basis or to conduct a competitive procurement. All responses must be received by 12:00 PM on August 24, 2017 and must reference number HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-NOI-17-580. Responses must be submitted electronically to Sneha Singh, sneha.singh@nih.gov and must reference the solicitation number HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-NOI-17-580, on your electronic request. FAX requests are not accepted. "All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency."
