Description

THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE-SOURCE CONTRACT AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The United Stated Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, IAW FAR 13.5, with Xylem Inc., 1 International Drive, Rye Brook, NY 10573, USA.� It is the only responsible source that can provide YSI 2900D Biochemistry Analyzer. It is the only system currently on the market that provides monitoring of methanol content required. The manufacturer, Xylem, is the only vendor that currently supplies this item as determined through previous market research attempts. This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items. Provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2020-06 are incorporated. The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) intends to procure a firm-fixed-price contract. �Soliciting this requirement to any other manufacturer will result in an unmanageably large volume of proposals from resellers for an equipment item that they are neither optimized nor equipped to deliver and with the urgent turnaround of this procurement, solicitation would significantly increase the time and effort to award and deploy this equipment for WRAIR�s upcoming fermentation in May 2021. Furthermore, no other vendor is capable of supplying the YSI Biochemistry Analyzer as stated during the market research Request for Quotes (RFQs), in which �no quote/no bids� were received from possible vendors. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 334516 with a Small Business Size Standard of 1000 employees. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document will be posted for this requirement. However, parties interested in responding to this notice shall submit technical data, including cost, sufficient to determine capability in providing the same product. All capability statements received by closing of this notification of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on 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 competitive procurement. Submit email capabilities statements (using PDF, MS Word, Excel attachments) to Hugo Robinson at hugo.m.robinson.civ@mail.mil. Statements are due no later than 4:00 P.M. EST on 16 April 2021. Late responses will not be reviewed.
