- Description
- SSJ The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to BioAutomation Corporation for maintenance services for the BioAutomation MM-12 and MM-48 DNA synthesizer. BioAutomation is the manufacturer of these synthesizers, hence the sole source for these machines. They have their own experienced service technicians who are fully trained on these machines. The machines need to have the genuine original OEM parts and software updates on these machines, which are available only from BioAutomaton. No other company can provide the genuine parts. The service engineers at BioAutomation have at least 8-10 years of service experience on their synthesizers. If going to another vendor, the program will need to pay $3000-3500 for pre-certification of the machines and run the risk of not getting the genuine parts or software updates as and when needed. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1).. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within seven (7) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this 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. Any quotation/response should be emailed to the contract specialist at yrj7@cdc.gov by 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, November 13, 2018.
