- Description
- National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research (CCR), Lymphoid Malignancies Branch (LMB), plans to procure on a sole source basis laboratory supplies for Tet-free fetal bovine serum for cell culture that is manufactured by Atlanta Biologicals, 2150 Cedars Road, Suite 200, Lawrenceville, GA 30043. This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures as stated in FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1) and is exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6. The North American Industry Classification System code is 811219 and the business size standard is $20.5M. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. The delivery date period of performance is one (1) to five (5) days from date of award of the purchase order. It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. The Lymphoid Malignancies Branch studies the molecular mechanisms of B cell lymphomagenesis with the goal of identifying new molecular targets for therapy. A critical part of this effort is the growth of cell line models of various lymphomas in tissue culture. This requires TET (tetracycline)-free fetal bovine serum (FBS). The laboratory has been dedicated to the aforementioned goals for over two decades. The FBS used in tissue culture must come from the same supplier as previously used to ensure continuity of our work. Changing suppliers would require suspension of all mission-critical research and several months of testing new suppliers. Fetal Bovine Serum is an essential component of all projects performed in the laboratory. The specific formulation and quality of FBS from Atlanta Biologicals is required for the research to proceed. Changing suppliers would require the total suspension of all research for weeks to months while other suppliers' products were tested. The contractor shall provide a total quantity of 120, lot number F14083, size 500 ml of Fetal Bovine Serum - TET Tested. This notice is not a request for competitive quotation. However, if any interested party, especially small businesses, believes it can meet the above requirement, it may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. The statement of capabilities and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NCI to determine if the party can perform the requirement. Responses must be received in the contracting office by 11:00AM EST, on November 25, 2015. All responses and questions must be in writing and faxed (240) 276-5401 or emailed to Kathy Elliott, Contract Specialist via electronic mail at Elliottk@mail.nih.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No collect calls will be accepted. In order to receive an award, Contractors must be registered and have valid, current Entity Record, including current Representations and Certifications, in the System for Award Management (SAM) through SAM.gov. Reference: N02RC62507-61 on all correspondence.
