Description

This notice announces the intent by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) in support of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) to procure Columbus Server Software without competition as prescribed in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Specifically, the Government will procure this from PerkinElmer Informatics, Inc. In accordance with FAR 52.232-18 Availability of Funds, funds are not presently available for this contract. Perkin Elmer Informatics is the sole manufacturer of the Columbus Server software and does not have any authorized resellers for the Columbus Server Software. The current Columbus software is no longer compatible to store and analyze the imaging data generated by our latest Opera Phenix instrument as it has hit end-of-life and a new Columbus software is required to sustain research operations. The Columbus Software is only software that can import imaging data coming from Opera, Opera Phenix and Operetta instruments and perform image analysis. Moreover it serves as a liaison between existing Genedata software and imaging instruments. The Columbus Server software is the only server software that meets the Government requirements. � This announcement fulfills the synopsis requirements under FAR 5.102 (a)(6) and 5.203(a). USAMRAA intends to publish a solicitation no sooner than 15 days after publishing this synopsis. This Special Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotes. Information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. If no written responses are received by the date listed below, which reflects at least fifteen (15) days after the publication of this notice, the solicitation will be issued as sole source requirement. All questions and responses concerning this notice shall be emailed to James Cheng at james.cheng1.civ@mail.mil. Interested concerns must identify their capability in writing to the above email address listed above no later than 12:00 PM ET, 18 Sept 2021.
