- Description
- INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/PZIBA, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344. This is a synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the acquisition of (2) two GeneXpert GX4 Machines. It was determined that Cepheid�s GeneXpert GX4 Machines are the only product that will meet the requirements.� This is the only COVID-19 testing equipment that has been approved by the Air Force Medical Readiness Agency (AFMRA).�� The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) resulting in a firm fixed price contract. This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334516. Size standard is 1000 employees.� The proposed source is the manufacturer of the product, Cepheid.� 904 Caribbean Drive, Sunnyvale, CA, 94089-1189. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows:� The Cepheid GX4 Machines are the only devices approved by AFMRA for COVID-19 testing.� Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to award to Cepheid. The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD.� Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for contracts issued after 29 May 2012.� You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220. SAM website:� www.SAM.gov Any information should be e-mailed to Jessica.Stamper.2@us.af.mil no later than 12:00 pm Local (Wright-Patterson AFB) Time, Thursday 13 August 2020.
