The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources; (2) whether they are small businesses; HUBZone small businesses; service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses; 8(a) small businesses; veteran-owned small businesses; woman-owned small businesses; or small disadvantaged businesses; and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice." The mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone. The NIH accomplishes that mission by conducting research in its own laboratories; supporting the research of non-Federal scientists in universities, medical schools, hospitals, and research institutions throughout the country and abroad; helping in the training of research investigators; and fostering communication of biomedical information. The NIH Clinical Center (CC) is a 234-bed federally funded, biomedical research hospital located on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The Clinical Center is the delivery setting for all NIH intramural clinical research protocols. The hospital complex consists of two main facilities that are connected to each other by "bridges". The original 14-story building is 2.5 million square feet and continues to house the clinical laboratories, imaging sciences, surgical suites, and several outpatient clinics. The new 870,000 square foot facility houses inpatient units and day hospitals. The Clinical Center accounts for about half of all NIH-funded clinical research beds in the United States and accommodates about 7,000 inpatient and 70,000 outpatient visits a year. Patients are admitted to the NIH Clinical Center from all over the world for the sole purpose of participating in a clinical research protocol. Scope: Water purification through service deionization. Services include providing all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to set up and install a deionization system that consists of a pre-filter, carbon, cation, anion and/or mixed bed tanks (as necessary), post filter, and any other components such as pressure regulators, water meters, etc. The contractor shall also provide Quality Control, monitoring, and maintenance services throughout the life of the contract. Background: Water filtration is necessary for Steris Reliance Synergy Washers located in Central Hospital Supply (CHS), room B1N254. Local water supply contains an abundance of mineral deposits and sediment such as Calcium, Magnesium, and Sodium, which if left unfiltered can leave trace amounts on instruments being washed. It is also a requirement via the Steris Reliance technical brochure that the source of water being utilized for the washers be pure. Service deionization has proven to be an excellent filtration system in order to eliminate mineral deposits as well as chlorine, chloramines and dissolved organic contaminants. b. The purpose of this market research is to obtain capability statements- Any potential offeror must demonstrate the points referenced in the attached Draft Performance Work Statement. Responses must be submitted to the OPC Contract Specialist referenced below no later than February 9, 2018, at 11:a.m. (eastern). Responses shall be limited to 10 pages.
