- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE In accordance with FAR 13.501(a), Network Contracting Office 9 hereby provides notice of intent to award a sole source Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order to Leica Biosystems, a division of Leica Microsystems Inc. The basis for a sole source award is that the Aperio Versa 200 Scanner is solely manufactured and by Leica Biosystems and there is not equivalent equipment available in the marketplace that provide the extensive features specifically designed to meet the needs. Leica is the original equipment manufacturer and does not authorize any other company to install or provide service on their equipment without voiding the warranty. Leica Biosystems has provided a proprietary letter. The anticipated statutory authority for limiting competition is FAR 13.106-1(b)(2); only one source is capable of providing supplies required at the level of quality required because the supplies are unique or highly specialized. The NAICS code is 334516 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. This Notice of Intent is not a solicitation nor is it a request for competitive quotes. However, any capability statements received by the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. 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. Any prospective vendor must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award and must provide a letter of authorization from the OEM on OEM letterhead stating they can install and service Leica Versa 200 Scanners. Capability statements shall be submitted by email Ramona Bonness at ramona.bonness@va.gov no later than August 31, 2022 at 10:00 AM Central Time. Phone calls will not be accepted.
