- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price purchase order to TSI, Incorporated, 500 Cardigan Road, Shoreview, MN� 55126.� In accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1, the Contractor is the only known responsible source who can provide the services for the requirement described below. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that the NIH anticipates issuing a purchase order for the acquisition of annual maintenance and calibration service of TSI and Quest Industrial Hygiene Equipment by TSI, Inc., (Quest is a subsidiary of TSI).� Equipment manufacturer TSI, Inc. provides annual maintenance and calibration service of approximately 130 pieces of electronic monitoring equipment used to evaluate occupational exposures.� The equipment is used for industrial hygiene measurements needed to meet U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulatory compliance. �TSI, Inc., the manufacturer of TSI and Quest equipment, provides the full range and thorough calibration services.� Service includes replacement of consumable unique TSI and TSI-Quest parts.� Some parts can only be determined defective by the manufacturer.� Third party vendors only conduct a calibration of the unit and do not offer the full service, inspection, adjustment, and replacement of parts.� Third-party vendors do not have the capability to perform the comprehensive service that TSI provides and cannot identify and replace all equipment.� When repairs of equipment are required, TSI typically has parts for the equipment on hand and can replace them quickly, minimizing delays.� If equipment requires updates to parts, as part of a recall or product update, the replacement is completed at no extra charge and without delay.� TSI also updates equipment firmware, as needed, whereas third party calibration servicers may not readily be aware of updates or upgrades. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes.� However, any party that believes it can fulfill the requirement as stated herein may submit a written capability statement that clearly supports and demonstrates their ability to satisfy the requirement. �A determination by the Government to compete this proposed award based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. It is anticipated that an award will be issued within ten (10) days after the date of this notice unless the Government determines that another organization has the capability to meet this requirement. Please email responses to zetherine.gore@nih.gov no later than 12:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, �January 24, 2023.� Emails received in response to this notice must reference SS-NIH-6511750 on the subject line.
