- Description
- ZEBRAFISH BEHAVIOR SYSTEM NOTICE OF INTENT This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source. The US Geological Survey (USGS), intends to award a purchase order to Viewpoint Life Sciences, Inc. in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for a zebrafish behavior system as described in the attached Salient Characteristics. Award will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) and the procedures at FAR Part 12 entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 entitled, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Viewpoint Life Sciences, Inc. is, to the USGS' knowledge, the only source who can provide this system. In particular, the required characteristics include the ability to track single and group behavior and includes a water bath for continuous flow for long term monitoring of adult behavior. The environmental chamber eliminates outside stimuli such as light, sound, and vibration and allows for simultaneous analysis of several animals while providing real time data. As there is limited available space, the system does not require a dedicated laboratory room. The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a quotation which shall be considered by the agency. No solicitation will be issued. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code - 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and associated size standard 1,000 employees apply to this announcement, along with the Product Service Code (PSC) 6640 - Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Responses or inquiries shall only be accepted through electronic mail addressed to capplegate@usgs.gov and must be uploaded and received in their entirety no later than 12/04/2020 0900 PT. Responses submitted by hardcopy or any web portal shall not be accepted or considered.
