- Description
- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES.� The USDA/ARS intends to award a Firm fixed price sole source contract under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), single source for purchase not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, to: FOSS NA, Inc. 6509 Flying Cloud Dr., Suite 130 Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Description of Requirement:� The contractor shall provide all necessary labor, parts, and materials to deliver a complete NIR spectrometry system and software for scanning and calibration development, and test system and provide overview of software controls and maintenance.� NIR instruments use calibrations for accurate measurement predictions that have been developed on a specific NIR system. These calibrations are not transferable to other manufacturer NIR systems. The new instrument is to replace an older instrument, but must be capable of utilizing prediction calibrations and scans obtained on the older FOSS XDS system that cannot be re analyzed. In essence an upgrade replacement for the existing system. We also need to be able to transfer our calibrations to our collaborators with FOSS DS2500 NIR systems as well as receive calibrations for the company for soybeans and other materials being analyzed.� FOSS has a factory standardized calibration transfer procedure to transfer calibrations from instrument to instrument. The FOSS DS2500 is completely compatible with our existing FOSS XDS system so will be able to accept calibrations and scans obtained on our old instrument enabling continuity of our NIR research. The NAICS code for the expected acquisition is 334516, with a Size Standard 1000 employees and the PSC Code is 6640. NO solicitation or solicitation package will be issued.� This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes; however, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement.� All information received by 1:00 PM Central Time on August 15, 2022 will be considered by the Government.� Responses shall be submitted to Melissa Grice at melissa.grice@usda.gov.� The e-mail subject line shall state:� NIR Instrument - Notice of Intent to Sole Source.� A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.� NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS WILL BE HONORED.
