88 -- Q-FEVER NEGATIVE SHEEP SOL N02-HL-5-3519 POC Gina M. Cianflone, Contract Specialist, (301) 435-0363; Christopher Belt, Contracting Officer, (301) 435-0358 NIH intends to procure on a sole source basis to Bio-Sheep, Inc., P.O. Box 10033, Blacksburg, Virginia 24062-0033 for a three (3) month contract extension to their current contract number N02-HL-5-3519 to provide Q-fever negative sheep used in its cardiovascular disease research effort. It is believed that Bio-Sheep, Inc. is the sole source for this requirement under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements) because Bio-Sheep, Inc. is currently performing under Contract Number N02-HL-5-3519 where a 3 month extension is required. The costs of recompetition for a three (3) month period would be excessive. Therefore, it is believed that since a contract is in place with Bio-Sheep, Inc., it is in the best interest of the government to procure a three (3) month contract extension with Bio Sheep, Inc. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. However, all proposals received within 45 days after publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. See Numbered Note 22. Posted 11/10/99 (W-SN399950). (0314)
