- Description
- Notice of Intent to Single Source The 99th Contracting Squadron intends to award a single source purchase order to Sysmex, America, Inc. located at 577 Aptakisic Rd., Lincolnshire, IL 60069 �under the authority �of FAR 13.106-1(b) Soliciting From A Single Source. The 99MDG Mike O� Callagham Military Medical Center requires the lease of� the XN-3000 analyzer. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for the requirement.� Sources interested in responding to this notice are required to submit a capability statement that includes technical data and cost information, sufficient detail and with convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the capability to provide the required services without invalidating the existing warranty. Capability statements shall not exceed 5 (8.5 x 11 inch) pages using a font size no smaller than 10-point.� All capability statements received by the closing date of this notice will be considered by the Government. A request for documentation or additional information or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response.� 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 be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed with a single source purchase order. The following is a statement of the contractor�s unique qualifications and why the nature of this acquisition requires the use of the authority cited above: Sysmex America, Inc. is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the Sysmex XN-3000. The 99th MDG currently has the Sysmex XN-3000 in place. The Govt. has already invested approximately $34,000.00 in the existing equipment. This includes installation and training costs. To procure new equipment, at this point in time, would require additional quality control, validation and compatibility test. These new tests would be needed to ensure that any new equipment would be compatible with other existing equipment and systems. Without these tests, results would have to be entered manually, greatly increasing the chance of error. All of these additional test would cost approximately $15,000.00. In, summary, to procure a new analyzer at this time would result in a substantial duplication of cost not expected to be recovered through full and open competition. Responses are due by 3:00 pm Pacific Daylight Time, 17 March 2022. Responses shall be submitted by email ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following address(es): stephen.colton@us.af.mil.
