- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Division of Laboratory Sciences, intends to award a sole source contract to Luminex, 12212 Technology Boulevard, Austin, TX, 78727-6115 for the acquisition of a maintenance agreement for all Luminex instruments. The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1- only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirement. The NAICS code for this procurement is 811219, Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. The period of performance for this procurement is a 12 month base period and four 12 month options. The pieces of equipment are essential to the laboratory work of the Newborn Screening Molecular Biology Branch. As such, they are in continuous use and must be maintained appropriately to ensure accuracy and quality results. Luminex is the original equipment manufacturer of the instruments. As such, they provide the best service for their instruments with annual preventative maintenance service as well as emergency on-site support in the event that the instrument fails to work properly. For on-site support, the vendor will supply Luminex-trained personnel with continuous updates on suggested methods of instrument correction. Additionally, Luminex provides service manuals to engineers containing service procedures applicable to the equipment trained on. Engineers periodically receive service information and updates, often consisting of compilations of recent problems and suggested methods of correction. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps. We will issue only one solicitation to Luminex. However, all responsible sources that believe they can meet these requirements may submit their capabilities/qualifications statement to provide the services to Vallerie Redd via email ONLY at gfj3@cdc.gov with the solicitation number 2010-Q-13118 referenced in the subject line NO LATER THAN February 2, 2011. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action will be based on responses to this notice and are solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
