Sole Source justification is based on the following: NISTs Biosystems and Biomaterials Division requires a maintenance agreement for an Attune NXT Flow Cytometer to continue its focus on developing methods that will assure reliability and confidence in the measurements that underpin research and applications in genomic measurements, biomaterials, protein therapeutics and cell therapies, cancer diagnostics, nanoparticle safety, and microbial identification and quantification. The division carries out this work through fundamental research in measurement science and the development of reference materials, reference data, and protocols. The maintenance agreement will ensure that measurements using the instrument are reliable, reproducible, and of high enough quality to meet the needs of the division�s stakeholders. The manufacturer has claimed, and the Government�s market research has demonstrated that Life Technologies is the sole provider of service to the Attune NXT Flow Cytometer. No solicitation packages will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit capability responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by latish.walker@nist.gov by 11:00am 8/31/2023 will be considered by the Government. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm-Fixed Price purchase order.
