- Description
- Authority and Introduction: Under authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13.106-1(b), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with ADVANCED ANALYTICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (AATI), 2450 SE OAK TREE CT # 101, ANKENY, IA, 50021-7102, as the only capable source that can provide an Advanced Analytical Technologies 12 Capillary Fragment Analyzer. Correspondingly, based on the foregoing authority under the FAR, the NIST intends to award on a sole source basis. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS): 334516-Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; Business Size Standard: 1000 Employees. Government's Requirements: The contractor shall provide Advanced Analytical Technologies 12 Capillary Fragment Analyzer, Part # FSv2-CE2F: an automated capillary electrophoresis system to separate, size and quantify nucleic acids. The contractor shall also provide a one-year warranty, delivery, installation and training. Sole Source Rationale: Market Research was conducted and AATI was identified as the sole source capable of meeting the Government's Requirements. The Advanced Analytical Technologies 12 Capillary Fragment Analyzer, Part # FSv2-CE2F, is an instrument proprietary to AATI. Accordingly, AATI is the only licensed distributor of the Advanced Analytical Technologies 12 Capillary Fragment Analyzer, Part # FSv2-CE2F. No other appropriate capable sources were identified, and therefore a sole source solicitation is required with AATI. The NIST is required to constantly and accurately maintain its scientific studies and operations. Only AATI provides an Advanced Analytical Technologies 12 Capillary Fragment Analyzer, Part # FSv2-CE2F, which: 1) possesses all the required minimum specifications to meet the NIST's requirements; and, 2) supports the continuity of NIST scientific studies and operations. Thus, AATI is the sole provider of the Advanced Analytical Technologies 12 Capillary Fragment Analyzer, Part # FSv2-CE2F. General Information and Responses to this Notice: This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes and no solicitation document will exist for this requirement. However, companies interested in responding to this notice shall submit technical data, including price and sufficient documentation to determine capabilities and qualifications in meeting or exceeding the Government's Requirements. All statements received by the closing date of this notice will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Companies interested in responding to this notice: 1. May submit their capabilities and qualifications to meet or exceed the Government's requirements, in writing via e-mail, to Mario Gray using e-mail address: mario.gray@nist.gov, with the solicitation number referenced in the subject line of the e-mail. 2.
