- Description
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute intend to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Inc., Thornwood, New York, to 10594, to purchase an upgrade to an existing government owned Zeiss LSM 510 Confocal Microscope. The LSM 510 Confocal microscope UV system will require the Zeiss 405 upgrade package which will enhance performance and add new capabilities, which were not available upon the initial purchase of the equipment. The existing government confocal UV microscope was manufactured by Carl Zeiss, Inc., and therefore only a Carl Zeiss upgrade is compatible. A change in the product would effect ongoing laboratory research and threaten the investment already made, and would not provide any cost savings to the Government. This acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures and is exempt from the requirement of FAR Part 6. There are no small business set-aside restrictions for this requirement. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 339111 and the Size Standard is 500 employees. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this requirement. The determination by the Government not to compete the 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 future competitive procurement. Responses to the announcement, referencing synopsis number, NHLBI -PS-2004-047, may be submitted in writing to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Contracts Operations Branch, Procurement Section, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Suite 6042, Bethesda, Maryland, 20879-7902, Attention: Cecilia Morales. Fax responses will only be accepted if dated and signed by an authorized company representative. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which if timely received, shall be considered by the agency.
