- Description
- 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 Borgwaldt KC, 7741 Whitepine Road, Richmond, VA 23237for the purchase of a RM 20 H smoking machine. 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 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The period of performance for this procurement is four months. The RM 20 H 20-port rotary smoking machine is the leader in rotary smoking machine technology. This smoking machine has two design features that make it superior to the current competition. The first design feature is that it will automatically load the cigarettes into the individual ports, reducing operator involvement and error in loading. Additionally, the smoking machine is enclosed in a chamber to limit operator exposure during smoking. Competitor rotary machines do not have auto-loading functionality or integrated enclosures. The RM 20 H smoking machine automatically loads the cigarettes into the individual ports. Borgwaldt is the only company that sells the RM 20 H. It is a proprietary smoking machine. This is the only smoking machine that automatically loads the cigarettes and is the only smoking machine capable of meeting our requirements. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps. We will issue only one solicitation to Borgwaldt KC. 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 94992 referenced in the subject line NO LATER THAN April 11, 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.
