- Description
- SPECIAL NOTICE NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE COVID 19 TAQPATH REAGENTS The Department of Veterans Affairs Cleveland Medical Center (CLE VAMC), 10701 East Blvd., Cleveland, OH 44106 intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106(b)(1)(i) - Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. The NAICS code is 334516 with a small business size standard of 1,000. The VA intends to solicit and negotiate with Thermofisher Healthcare and distributors, 11450 Compaq Center Drive West, Houston, TX 77070 for Taqpath Covid and MNX NO ROX Reagents. Fisher Healthcare is the only source that can provide the specific reagents for the TaqPath instrumentation currently in use by the Pathology & Laboratory Medicine Service at the Cleveland VA Medical Center to perform COVID-19 testing. The reagents are specific to the equipment used and alternate vendors cannot provide acceptable reagent systems. The vendor was selected based on the availability of the reagents that meet the specific parameters of the equipment (methodology, configuration, size, shape, etc.). This ensures that the highest standard of accuracy and validation is maintained, as required by the Collage of American Pathologists (CAP) and The Joint Commission (TJC). This presents a compelling need to continue this procurement with the current vendor. Other persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement by Wednesday, May 25, 2022, at 5PM EST. Such capabilities information will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. All information shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No solicitation is available at this time. All inquiries must be submitted by email to Rachelle Hamer at rachelle.hamer@va.gov. Enter RFQ 36C25022Q0665| COVID TAQPATH REAGENTS in the email subject line.
