Description

Title Life Technologies Corporation Reagents for the Department of Laboratory Medicine of the NIH Clinical Center Product Service Code: 6640 NAICS Code: 325413 Place of Performance: Bethesda, MD 20892 USA POTS: 24-000020 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 on a sole source basis to Life Technologies Corporation of Carlsbad, California 92008 to provide reagents and consumables every three months. The reagents are4 used to set up cKit mutation assay, JAK2 mutation assay, and BCR-ABL fusion. The proposed vendor, Life Technologies Corporation Life Technologies Scientific is the sole-source manufacturer and supplier of the consumables and kits that are used in the laboratory. There are other types of kits that are on the market, however, they work differently than what have been validated for our patients. These reagents have been fully validated for use in BCR-ABL fusion assay, cKIT mutation assay and JAK2 mutation assay. Switching to another system would entail lengthy validations and would alter current results of protocols. 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.
