- Description
- DESCRIPTION: The National Institutes of Health - NICHD intends to procure Amersham Typhoon Biomolecular Imagers This proposed procurement is for products and services for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate on a sole source basis to Global Life Science Solutions. �In order to comply with the requirements in this Solicitation/Special Note, the responses should be based on our interpretation of the general requirements provided below. Special Note: The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement and/or submit quotations. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all quotes received within the time and date of publication of this ""Special Notice"" will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with 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 future competitive procurement. HOW TO RESPOND: In order to compete for this project, interested parties must be registered in the Central Contracting Registration and submit a price quotation by 5 pm, ET, July 3rd , 2020. Offerors should submit one copy of the quote to MOE FILALI via email. Electronic transmissions to Moe.Filali@nih.gov are preferable but must be timely. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure the proposal is received by the date and time shown above.� All questions should be directed earlier.. �Background and Lab�s Justification: Amersham Typhoon Biomolecular Imager is a unique laser scanner with exceptional data quality through extremely sensitive detection, high image resolution, and a very broad linear dynamic range. These versatile imaging systems support multiple imaging modes, including phosphor imaging, red/green/blue (RGB) and long and short wavelengths of near infrared fluorescence (NIR), as well as optical densitometry (OD) of proteins in stained gels. This machine is an industry standard and has been in use in our lab and other labs around the world for many years. This machine is being ordered to replace a broken machine of the same type for which we and other labs in our division already possess tens of thousands of $ dollars worth of the dozens of uniquely compatible phosphor-crystal screens that are used with this machine. These screens are used by multiple users to make exposures, similar to X-ray film, of their experimental results. In addition to this investment, the system provided by this vendor�s phosphorImager is completely unique. There is no other that is commercially available in the world that is compatible with the extended range of high reliability ocvermultiple orders of magnitude and high resolution of the imaging output delivered by this phosphorImager. This is why it is the international industry standard. Without this PhosphorImager, our research would be severely compromised both in quality and quantity as well as having negative impact on other work in our division that is directly important to the central goals of our mission to advance understanding of mechanisms of health and disease. Without this PhosphorImager, the same work would take at least 12-20 times as long to complete and would be more expensive because this phosphorimager is so sensitive it allows us to collect the radioactive information in much less time and with much less experimental procedures, reagents and person-hours. It also allows the work to be done with much less exposure of the radiation to the laboratory worker. Because we have to preserve the same results from previous and current research, we have to use the same equipment.� Cytiva brings speed, efficiency and capacity to research and manufacturing workflows, enabling the development, manufacture and delivery of transformative medicines to patients.� The following Federal Acquisition Regulations clauses are incorporated by reference: FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items (Mar 2005), 52.212-4 (Sept 2005), 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes of Executive Orders-Commercial Items (Aug 2006). (6)(i) 52.222-26, Equal Opportunity (Apr 2002) (E.O. 11246). (18) 52.222-35, Equal Opportunity for Special Disabled Veterans, Veterans of the Vietnam Era, and Other Eligible Veterans (Dec 2001) (38 U.S.C. 4212). (19) 52.222-36, Affirmative Action for Workers with Disabilities (Jun 1998) (29 U.S.C. 793). (20) 52.222-37, Employment Reports on Special Disabled Veterans, Veterans of the Vietnam Era, and Other Eligible Veterans (Dec 2001) (38 U.S.C. 4212). (31) 52.232-33, Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer-Central Contractor Registration (Oct 2003) (31 U.S.C. 3332).
