Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: : VA funded Research requires a GE AKTA pure 25 L protein and other biomolecule purification system. This instrument will best suit the needs of the research projects it is being procured for. The only other FPLC on the market is sold by Knauer, a German company. It is called the Azura Bio Sec system. The requested FPLC, the AKTA pure made by GE Healthcare (USA-based), has a broader range of flow rates over which it can operate and also a higher maximum operating pressure than the Azura system. Most importantly, the AKTA FPLC and accompanying GE Healthcare columns (Superose Increase 6 and Superdex Increase 200 columns) have been used successfully by other investigators to carry out the type of protein purification required by the VA for the research project funding this procurement. Specific conditions optimal for fractionating serum into lipoprotein components and isolating smaller molecular weight amyloid proteins using GE Healthcare products are available in published scientific literature. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: VIP was queried for NAICS 334516 and 85 SDVOSB/VOSB concerns were returned. A Query of VIP for NAICS 334516 and key words GE ATKA Pere 25L and 79 SDVOSB/VOSB concerns were returned. Customer market research also revealed that there are 2 or more SDVOSB entities that could provide this system and the required accessories.
