- 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 Government Scientific Source for two Thermo iBright FL 1500 Imaging Systems. Investigators at the Iowa City VAHCS are conducting research requiring the imaging of biological samples. The iBright FL 1500 Imaging System is the only known system with a higher-resolution camera having an imaging area of 22.5 X 18 cm making the imaging easier to perform, and it is the only known device to allow for multiplexing with 6 channels versus the standard 2 or 4 channels. The iBright also is the only known system to offer a 2-year bumper-to-bumper warranty with onsite service by a trained Field Service Engineer. These features allow the VA researchers to be careful stewards of the limited amounts of biological samples that are available to run the multiple reactions necessary for their research. 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 Friday, September 18th, 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.
