- PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a sole source, fixed price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with a base year and 4 option years, with Artel, Inc., 25 Bradley Drive, Westbrook, ME, 04092-2013. The purpose of the BPA is for procuring Reagents and Plates for its existing Multi-channel Verification System (MVS). BPA is not to exceed 25,000 per year. The FBI's Federal DNA Database Unit (FDDU), the DNA Casework (DCU), and the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC) currently utilizes the Artel MVS for verifying the precision and accuracy of all the robotic stations used for casework, research, database and validation studies. Each MVS measures reagents to ensure the precise volume is applied to the robots. The Artel Reagents and Plates are required to keep the robotic stations running efficiently. They are critical to the quality assurance and quality control processes and must be compatible with current laboratory procedure manuals. Based on market research, and Government end-users, it has been determined that Artel Reagents and Plates are the only products that can be used on the FBI's existing MVS. Artel, Inc. is the sole manufacturer and the only authorized distributor of the required products. This notice will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration's Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Website (www.fedbizopps.gov).
