- Description
- The National Institutes of Health intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Nextek, LLC. The Office of Research Services needs to purchase an additional Formaldehyde Generator with re-circulating blower cart and cam-lock connection hoses. The unit is used to generate and then neutralize formaldehyde gas used to decontaminant laboratory ventilation systems and lab areas where potentially harmful micro-organisms have been used. Frequently, this is used in the Biosafety Level 3 and 4 labs. NIH uses this machine currently at their facilities in Fort Detrick and Rocky Mountain; there is a need to purchase one for a facility on Main Campus in Bethesda, MD. This unit has an attached 100 cfm blower used to circulate the formaldehyde gas in a closed loop through the unit in order for the lab to get even dispersion of the gas, and to draw the formaldehyde through the HEPA filters in the ventilation system. At the end of the cycle, the unit also has a container for ammonium carbonate that is used to neutralize the formaldehyde. Once the unit is started, it will run automatically through the decontamination and neutralizing sequence without the user having to handle these chemicals. The unit is specifically used for formaldehyde. Responses The proposed acquisition action is for items and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1 (b). But, if you believe you can provide the items or services, please forward capability statements to anne.mineweaser@nih.gov by June 22, 2015. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract acquisition based upon responses to the notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract or otherwise pay for the information provided in response. The Government reserves the right to use information provided by respondents for any purpose deemed necessary and legally appropriate. Any organization responding to this notice should ensure that its response is complete and sufficiently detailed. Information provided will be used to assess tradeoffs and alternatives available for the potential requirement and may lead to the development of a solicitation. Respondents are advised that the Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted. Any solicitation resulting from the analysis of information obtained will be announced to the public in Federal Business Opportunities in accordance with the FAR Part 5.
