- Description
- This notice is being published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 5.101(a)(2) requiring the dissemination of information on proposed contract actions expected to exceed $15,000, but not expected to exceed $25,000. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Precisionary Instruments�and is not a request for competitive proposals.� This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13�Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.106-1 (b) (1), Soliciting from a single source and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.� Contracts awarded using FAR Part 13�Simplified Acquisition Procedures and at a dollar value less than the simplified acquisition threshold are exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6�Competition Requirements. Single-sole Source Determination: The determination by the Government to make a single-sole source�is based upon the market research conducted as prescribed in FAR Part 10�Market Research, specifically the results of the market research concluded that this order is for a Compresstome vibratining microtome supplied by�Precisionary Instruments.�The Compresstome VF-310-0Z is a vibrating microtome for cutting tissue slices, similar to cryostats and vibratomes. This model comes with Auto Zero-Z technology, which removes Z-axis deflection by calibration during the manufacturing process. This means you never have to calibrate the slicer, and there is no shearing of tissue surfaces during sectioning! The VF-310-0Z can section both fixed and live tissues. It is fully automated with an ability to cut slices in 1 ?m increments, and cuts tissue thicknesses ranging from 4 ?m to 1000 ?m. Market research�only resulted in Precisionary Instruments as the supplier of this Vibrating Microtome with the specifications needed. A search of previous awards on the FPDS system displays that this is the only source for this equipment. Specifications: MFR# VF-310-0ZVM-BOS Quantity (1)�Compresstome�Vibrating Microtome (Tissue Slicer) Training and Demonstration MFR#�VF-SK-VMCANAL� Quantity (1) Starter Kit MFR#�VF-GLAMP� Quantity (1)�Compresstome Gooseneck Lamp Closing Statement: This notice is not a request for competitive proposals.� However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice.� Responses to this notice shall contain sufficient information to establish the interested parties� bona-fide capabilities for fulfilling the requirement and include: unit price, list price, shipping and handling costs, the delivery period after contract award, the prompt payment discount terms, the F.O.B.
