- Description
- NAICS Code: 325414 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to negotiate a sole source purchase order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Pierce Biotechnology, Inc, a Thermo Fisher Scientific Company, located at 3747 N Meridian Rd, Rockford, IL 61101-9316, for the acquisition of seven R01-0513-1 Neurite outgrowth hit kits (reagents) from award date through 30 September 2009. The reagent is proprietary to Thermo for use in the (Thermo) Cellomics ArrayScan V imager. Use of other reagents would compromise the instrument's operation and historic database generated from the Cellomics imager. (Thermo) Pierce Biotechnology, Inc is the only known source for this specific reagent based on previous EPA competitive requirements; and, therefore, is the only vendor that can satisfy the requirement. In order to ensure timely and correct task completion, the circumstance permitting is FAR 13.106(b) (1) "only one source reasonably available". The intent of this notice is to determine if any other source(s) exist; and, therefore, no solicitation (RFQ) is available. Consequently, any response failing to demonstrate the contractor's ability to provide this specific reagent and instead choosing merely to submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the RFQ will be ignored. The information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Interested parties may submit written qualification statements, fully explaining their capability, no later than 10 days after the date of this publication. Submit your response to: the U.S. EPA, Attn: Barbara L. Mattison (MC-E105-02), 109 T.W. Alexander Drive, RTP Procurement Operations Division, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711; by fax to (919)541-4273; or, by e-mail: mattison.barbara@epa.gov. No telephone or faxed requests will be honored.
