- Description
- This contract action was accomplished using other than competitive procedures because there is only one responsible source due to a unique capability provided, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements (FAR 6.302-1). See posted J&A for further information. 1.Requirement: The Edgewood Chemical/Biological Center required an upgrade of an existing Avance DRX 300 nuclear magnetic resonance console. 2.Description of Action: The Government awarded to Bruker Biospin Corporation, a small business registered in CCR [CAGE Code 54437]. This action was awarded in the amount of $139,000.00 to: Bruker Biospin Corporation 15 Fortune Drive Billerica, MA 01821-3923 Description of Supplies/Services: The Edgewood Chemical/Biological Center Forensic Analytical Team (hereinafter ECBC/FAT) required an upgrade of their existing Avance DRX 300 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer console (NMR). The ECBC/FAT uses NMR spectroscopy as an analytical technique in their role as a Designated Laboratory for the Organization of the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons for the United States of America. This technology is also used in a wide range of other chemical analysis, including purity analysis for the CASARM program. 3.Authority Cited: Acquisition was under the authority of FAR 6.302-1: "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." 4.Reason for Authority Cited: ECBC has a prior investment in the technologies of Bruker Biospin, including a super-cooled electromagnet, probes, and many accessories only compatible with Bruker spectrometers, valued at approximately $100,000. In addition, award to the same vendor precludes having to re-train all ECBC spectrometer staff on another company, avoiding approximately $4,000 in downtime for the customer.
