Description

***THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION�S (NOAA) ACQUISITION & GRANTS OFFICE, WESTERN ACQUISITION DIVISION-BOULDER,NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE (NMFS), MONTLAKE FACILITY INTENDS TO NEGOTIATE, ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS, UNDER AUTHORITY OF FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), WITH McLANE RESEARCH LABORATORIES OF EAST FALMOUTH, MA FOR THE PURCHASE OF AN IMAGING FLOW CYTOBOT (IFCB). ***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON NOAA�S SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN IMAGING FLOW CYTOMETER. McLane Research Laboratories is the only vendor that can provide an IFCB.The IFCB is the only imaging flow cytometer that can meet the agency�s research need for an automated, submersible, in situ imaging flow cytometer that can image particles from the marine environment in the size range of <10-150 �m based on their fluorescence (i.e., phytoplankton). Critically, the IFCB is programmable for automated (unmanned) operation, including the acquisition of seawater samples without a dedicated person having to deliver the sample to the instrument, and regularly programmed cleaning and calibration routines. There are no other sources capable of providing these highly specialized services that meet our requirements. If services are not solicited by McLane Research Laboratories, we will not be able to provide the necessary phytoplankton data to inform efforts to improve seafood safety and security, potentially compromising the agency�s mission to ensure the sustainability of fisheries and power the Blue Economy. ***THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS AND NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FIRMS THAT BELIEVE THEY CAN FULLY MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT SUBSTANTIATING DOCUMENTATION IN WRITING TO THE IDENTIFIED POINT OF CONTACT WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS SYNOPSIS. SUCH DOCUMENTATION WILL BE EVALUATED 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 A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT, BASED UPON RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE, IS SOLELY WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE GOVERNMENT. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
