- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs, Iowa City VA Health Care System intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, with Biotek Instruments for the Biotek Instruments Cytation 5 Imaging System. Investigators at the Iowa City VA Center for Prevention and Treatment of Visual Loss are conducting research which requires a system to perform live cell imaging. The Biotek Instruments Cytation 5 Imaging System, due to the proprietary nature of existing hardware and software, is needed to integrate into the Biotek automated cell culture incubator and robotic sample handling system currently in use. Integration into the existing robotic sample handling system in the lab will enhance sample throughput and allow continuous measurements to be taken, while ensuring data continuity. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement and who is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), authorized dealer, authorized distributor or authorized reseller of all the items listed above, may submit a capability statement to the contracting office no later than Thursday, September 17th, 4:00, EDT. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Shannon Hukriede at Shannon.Hukriede@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
