- Description
- The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW FAR 13.501(a), Only One Responsible Source. The proposed source is University of California San Diego (UCSD) Anatomical Services, 9500 Gilman Dr., Mail Code 0627, San Diego, CA 92093-0627. Fresh cadaveric specimens are stored in the Bioskills Training Center (BTC) walk-in refrigerator and are used in the education of Staff and Resident Physicians through the Directorate for Professional Education, Academic Council for Graduate Medical Education (GME). NMCSD's BTC walk-in refrigerator is the primary back-up to NMCSD's morgue walk-in refrigerator. NMCSD requires an alternative storage facility in the event the mortuary requires use of the BTC walk-in refrigerator or the BTC walk-in refrigerator becomes non-operational due to extenuating circumstances such as a breakdown or maintenance. The cadavers are required to be delivered within a one-hour period directly to the refrigerator/freezer and picked up within a one-hour period at the refrigerator/freezer. The one-hour delivery is critical as fresh cadaver specimens shall be maintained at a maximum temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit during transport as to not accelerate the rate of decomposition, the spread of bacteria, or the growth of mold/mildew. The vendor shall have a separate walk-in refrigerator (L-97", W-134", H-78") with the capacity needed for the BTC cadaveric specimens (minimum needed space would permit storage of at least 150 cadaveric tissues), while the NMCSD morgue uses the walk-in refrigerator for official command business (most commonly a body of a recently deceased person whose body needs to be stored separately from the BTC cadaveric specimens) or the BTC walk-in is inoperable due to breakdown or maintenance. Vendor shall possess an up-to-date Defense Biometric Identification System pass to enter the military base. There are not set-aside restrictions for this requirement. The intended procurement will be classified under North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) 621991. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. However, parties interested in responding to this notice will need to submit technical data sufficient to determine capability in providing the same product. All capability statements received by the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. 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. If a vendor challenges the basis of this requirement, please email product capability statements (formats for submission: PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel) to Derek Bell at derek.j.bell.civ@mail.mil. Closing date for challenges is no later than 3:00 PM ET on 24 Aug 17. No phone calls will be accepted.
