COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF NOVEMBER 15,1999 PSA#2475National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute, Contracts Operations Branch, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Room
6100, MSC 7902, Bethesda, MD 20892 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) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0302 19991115\88-0001.SOL)
