- Description
- The Defense Threat Reduction Agency contracting activity proposes procurement without using full and open competition to award a contract to PerkinElmer for Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) components and for new systems. The components are intended to upgrade instruments acquired by DTRA in 2013. This action will upgrade seven of the government's GUARDION/Torion T9 GC/MS units to the current variant of the same system, improving mass resolution long term stability, mass calibration stability, altitude pressure stability, signal improvement, and the tuning, testing, and evaluation of the TMS module. This action will standardize inventory of systems and a common baseline of capability for both reliability and accuracy across the Agency. The project will bring DTRA systems up to the same functional capability, standardize training, and more importantly provide a state of the art capability out past 2020. While the equipment required by DTRA was previously manufactured and further developed by other companies, only PerkinElmer is continuing support and development of the instruments. PerkinElmer is the sole company engaged in developing improvements in the device's software, firmware, and hardware. Due to the sensitive nature of J10CE's mission and the PerkinElmer's developmental history with the equipment, utilizing a vendor other than PerkinElmer would create unacceptable delivery delays, and increases in cost. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals or a solicitation of offers. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative written response is received, the contract will be awarded without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Contractors who can provide DTRA with the required services are invited to electronically submit an affirmative, written response indicating a bona fide ability to meet this requirement. Responses should be furnished electronically to the contacts listed below not later than 3:00 PM EDT, on 31 AUGUST 2017. Responses shall be submitted via email, and should explain why your company can perform the required work. Please include at a minimum, affirmation of active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), your Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number. All responses should include a point of contact, telephone number, and electronic mail address. Additionally, respondents should indicate whether they are a large business, small business, small disadvantaged business, 8(a) concern, women-owned small business, HUBZone, or service disabled veteran-owned small business. Such qualifications and/or capabilities will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct this effort as a full-and-open competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the Government's discretion. All inquiries must be submitted in writing to the address or facsimile number stated herein and to the attention of Joseph Wolfinger, Contract Specialist.
