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 423490, Other Professional Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers. The period of performance for this procurement is 3 months. These generators will be used to generate the hydrogen needed with a flow rate of 500ml/min for the existing GC/MSD instruments which provides quantitative concentrations for the measurement of trans fatty acids in human plasma and serum. The hydrogen generators with this technology will facilitate the analysis of trans fatty acids in a robust, timely and consistent manner for high sample preparation throughput for the compelling CDC NHANES survey and for biomonitoring studies. No other products can meet the program requirements. Fisher Scientific is the only vendor that can provide the compatible gas generators as offered to prevent delays in continuity of program activities. Only Fisher Scientific can meet the urgent and compelling project requirements and are the only ones able to overcome the time, budget constraints, technical comparability and product constraints with the distribution of these unique products. Fisher Scientific also have local repair engineers for faster service and response time. Fisher Scientific is the only vendor that can provide the requested generators with the same specifications, service, installation, warranty service, maintenance and ease of use, and quality of product that is currently in the lab. Fisher Scientific is the only contractor that can perform all of the Government's requirements. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps.
