Description

Invoice and Payment Provisions FAR 52.212-5 COMBINED SYNOPSIS / SOLICITATION COMPETITIVE Title: Andrew+ Liquid Handling Robot or Brand Name Equal (i) This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (ii) The solicitation number is 75N95019Q00346 and the solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). This acquisition is for a commercial item or service and is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures; FAR Subpart 13.5-Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items; and FAR Part 12-Acquisition of Commercial Items, and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. (iii) The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2019-05, dated August 13, 2019. (iv) The associated NAICS code is 334516 and the small business size standard is 1000 employees. No set-aside restriction is applicable. (v) The NCATS Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC) is tasked with identifying and developing novel small molecule leads against a wide spectrum of human disease targets, which it accomplishes by screening thousands of small molecules in collaboration with both intra-and extramural researchers. In pursuit of this goal, the Center has a strong internal transdisciplinary team of scientists who continually discover novel small molecules and develop novel disease models for application against a wide range of human diseases. As such, discovering probe molecules and developing human disease models that could serve as starting points for therapeutics is of great interest within NCATS. NCATS is requesting a liquid handling robot that can automate pipetting, enabling more complex manipulation and grabbing of microplates, tubes and columns, etc. This type of flexible architecture enables the user to effortlessly transition from laborious manual pipetting procedures to error-free, fully-robotized lab workflows - without any knowledge of programming, laboratory robotics or automation engineering. An automated pipetting system will allow NCATS to begin optimizing assays at a scale previously not possible.
