Description
PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time sole source contract with Cerno Bioscience, 40 Richards Avenue, 3rd Floor, Norwalk, CT 06854 for MassWorks Premium and One Year Maintenance. The Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration's Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Website (www.fedbizopps.gov). Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the FBO site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition. The North American Classification System Code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; the size standard is 750 employees. The FBI Chemistry Unit (CU) of the Scientific Analysis Section (SAS) performs chemical analysis of drugs, poisons, unknown solids and liquids in a wide variety of matrices to support casework. The Chemistry Unit also works closely with the Forensic Operations Unit (FOU) to perform analysis of explosives residue. Because these analyses are case related, it is high importance to have accurate and rapid analysis. Frequently, the FBI is encountered with unknown compounds in samples and it is imperative that the FBI identifies these compounds, because it will assist in expediting casework or provide insight for investigation purposes. Determining an unknown requires multiple analyses and sophisticated tools. In solving this task, a novel mass spectrometry software (MassWorks) is needed in determining unknown for analysis generated from both low (unit) and high resolution mass spectrometers. This technique will enhance the laboratory capabilities in dealing with unknown. Cerno Bioscience is the sole manufacturer and seller of this software. This software has been evaluated and will meet the mission of both the Scientific Analysis Section (SAS) and Forensic Operations Unit (FOU). The software is capable of meeting the requirement of integrating with Agilent GC/MS ChemStation software and capable of processing both low (unit) and high resolution mass spectrometry files. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement or submit proposals to this office by 8:00 am, EST, by August 21, 2012, by email to the attention of Jerry Varnell, Contract Specialist, at Jerry.Varnell@ic.fbi.gov. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Telephone requests will not be considered. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The awardee shall be registered in the Central Contractor's Database (CCR) and also the Online Representations and Certification (ORCA) at http://orca.bpn.gov.
