- EQUIPMENT LIST This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract and is not a request for competitive proposals. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) hereby announces its intent to award a sole source contract to Integra Biosciences, Corp., 2 Wentworth Dr., Hudson, NH 03051-4918 for the procurement of the VIAFLO 96 Channel Electronic Liquidator. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) in accordance with FAR 6.302-1- only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirement. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The period of performance for this procurement is one 90-day base period. The purpose of this procurement is for Integra Biosciences Corp. to provide the VIAFLO 96 Channel Electronic Liquidator along with additional supplies (please see attached equipment list). The VIAFLO96 is the only instrument that will meet our need to improve ELISA essay efficiency. High accuracy, precision and efficiency is essential for these essays. The VIAFLO96 will be used for sample dilution and adding buffer and diluted samples into ELISA plates. No other company provides a liquidator with this feature. Other products may have similar performance, but none of them can both cover the wide range of sample volume (0.5-1250uL) and perform multiple dispense. Only the VIAFLO96 Channel Electronic Liquidator from Integra has all of the desired features in one unit. Moreover, VIAFLO96 has high accuracy and precision and can be connected to a computer via USB port. With the VIALINK Pipette Management software user-defined custom programs can be created on the computer and then transferred to the VIAFLO96. Other instruments not have this capability. Integra Biosciences Corp. is the only company that provides these specified instruments and supplies and quality of product that is critical for the continuity of our methods. Integra Biosciences Corp. is the sole manufacturer that can satisfy the Government's requirement. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps.com. We will issue only one solicitation to Integra Biosciences Corp. However, all responsible sources who believe they can meet these requirements may submit their capabilities/qualifications to Tonya S. Justice, Contracting Officer, via email to wzo1@cdc.gov NO LATER THAN 12:00pm EST on April 21, 2017. Reference solicitation number 2017-Q-66623 in the subject line of the email. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action will be based on responses to this notice and is solely in the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
