- Description
- Justification & Approval This notice announces the intent by the U.S. Army Medical Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), 820 Chandler St, Fort Detrick, Maryland, 21702, to award a sole source contract to Beckman Coulter for a Cytoflex B5-R3-V0 system (flow cytometer) for use in the Department of Discovery, Division of Experimental Therapeutics, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR). The proposed contract action is for equipment for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(2). FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i): Only one source reasonably available. The Department of Discovery, Division of Experimental Therapeutics, and WRAIR have a need for (one) Beckman Coulter Cytoflex B5-R3-V0 system (flow cytometer) with the enhanced capability to support two critical core animal model test systems for the testing of potential anti-malarial drugs in mice. Specifically, the flow cytometer will greatly increase the ability to accurately determine the parasitemia (percent infected cells) of mice with malaria, as well as differentiate between all stages of the malaria parasite contained within the sample. An award will be issued on a sole source basis. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 334516 and the size standard is 1,000. This announcement fulfills the synopsis requirements under FAR 5.102(a)(6) and 5.203(a). USAMRAA intends to award a contract no sooner than 15 days after publishing this synopsis. This Special Request for Information is not a request for competitive quotes. Information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. If no written responses are received by the expiration date listed in this notice, which reflects at least fifteen (15) days after the publication of this notice, the award will be issued as sole source. All questions and responses concerning this notice shall be emailed to Mr. Christopher L. Cook at christopher.l.cook68.civ@mail.mil.
