- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Division of Laboratory Sciences (DLS), intends to award a sole source contract to Qiagen, 27220 Turnberry Lane, suite 200, Valencia, California, for the purchase of (1) QiAxcel automated capillary electrophoresis instrument (QiAxcel). 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 QiAxcel system will be used to analyze DNA fragments for various DLS projects. The QiAxcel is the only system that is fully automated for up to 96 samples for 15bp-5kb size DNA fragments with 1 µL sample used. The QiAxcel system is the only system that meets all of the requirements for current DLS projects. In particular, the QiAxcel has the ability to analyze 15bp-5kb DNA fragments, resolve 3-5bp differences in fragment size for fragments under 500bp, and a sample consumption of less than 0.1 µL per analysis. In addition, the QiAxcel requires no sample preparation, can run up to 96 samples at a time without manual intervention, and runs 12 samples in 5-12 minutes and 96 samples in 30 minutes. These efficiency-boosting features are necessary to help the DLS increase its efficiency and meet its research time-requirements. Qiagen is the sole manufacturer of the QiAxcel. Therefore, Qiagen is the only source for this requirement. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps. We will issue only one solicitation to Qiagen. However, all responsible sources that believe they can meet these requirements may submit their capabilities/qualifications statement to provide this equipment to Vallerie Redd VIA EMAIL ONLY at gfj3@cdc.gov with the solicitation number 2012-Q-15055 referenced in the subject line NO LATER THAN August 28, 2012. The Contracting Officer will not respond to verbal requests. All requests must be in writing. 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.
