- Description
- Sole Source Justification The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to University of Wisconsin System for Quantitative Hormone Progesterone analysis/testing on Macaque specimens from University of Wisconsin System's (Wisconsin National Primate Research Center) The University of Wisconsin System, which includes a National Primate Center that conducts research on nonhuman primates, has been providing hormone analysis for our study specimens. It is the only source that can provide the same methodology and hormone analysis of nonhuman primate (monkey) samples that will be comparable to our existing data analysis. Any changes cannot be considered and would alter continuity and validity our research measurements. Our assay platforms and data have been established using University of Wisconsin System (Wisconsin National Primate Center) to measure quantitatively hormone levels in non-human primate specimens. Our assay methods and parameters must be consistent. Any changes in the middle of the study are unacceptable and may render years of existing data invalid. Other organizations or companies who may have expertise and equipment to measure quantitative hormone levels for humans have the capability to perform this requirement but would contaminate their equipment with nonhuman primate (monkey) specimens (blood and feces) and don't want contamination while performing our requirement. In addition, there are no other vendors who can perform the assays and give us comparable data to our established years' worth of data. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1).. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. 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. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to William Brannen at VWL0@cdc.gov by 11:00 A.M. EST, June 28, 2018.
