- Description
- The Environmental Laboratory (EL) of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has a requirement for the culture of p-cadherin mutant cells and wild-type, control (non p-cadherin) cells on a sole source basis to the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) (CAGE Code: 1B5T7).� Due to the fragile nature of the cells in regards to temperature, cells must be immediately transferred to a portable incubator once grown out to the proper density at the ERDC Vicksburg, Mississippi facility and driven to a location within 1.5 hours of driving distance that has the capabilities to perform the required subsequent analyses.� Once the samples are transferred from ERDC, the contractor shall prepare the samples as needed to measure the interaction forces between cells, the force needed to pull two apart from each other, and the resistance to an applied force using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).� Because of the necessity to select a vendor located within 1.5 hours driving distance which also possesses the highly specialized experience and equipment required for this research, the University of Mississippi Medical Center is the only vendor with the known capability to perform these services. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals.� A solicitation will not be issued.� However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.� The information submitted must be provided in sufficient detail to demonstrate the vendor�s ability to fulfill this requirement.� The contractor must also provide a description of their past experience in fulfilling requirements which are the same or similar to this requirement and references for each.� Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.� A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government.� Verbal communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.� Responses to this requirement may be submitted to Jody Criss at Jody.Criss@usace.army.mil.� The solicitation number shall be included in the subject line of the e-mail submission.� Responses must be received no later than 3 days from the posted date of this notice.
