Description

This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a fixed price contract to Biorbyt�� , on a sole source basis to provide FUNGAL BETA-GLUCAN antibody at the NIH Clinical Center (CC). The fungal cell wall is made of unique components that do not exist in other mammalian systems, so they could be ideal candidates for targeting. NIH is developing this antibody as PET ligand to bind specifically to the sites of fungal infection in animal models. This antibody binds to the fungal cell wall with a very high affinity and thus is a good candidate for immunoPET imaging.� Biorbyt is the only vendor that sells this particular clone of the antibody. This clone is of interest to us because it binds to its target very much higher affinity than other clones (from different vendors) that were previously tested. �As such, no other vendor is capable of providing the Government with this antibody.� This acquisition is being conducted using policies unique to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 � Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1), For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstance of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.� Contracts awarded using FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures are exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6-Competition Requirements. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this posting. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Comments to this announcement, referencing this posting number, may be submitted to the CC, Office of Purchasing and Contracts, prior to the closing date specified in this announcement, electronically to the attention of Noelle DeCenzo, Contract Specialist, noelle.decenzo@nih.gov by the due date and time marked in this notice.
