- Description
- This is a notice of intent, not a request for proposals.� A solicitation document will not be issued, and proposals will not be requested. HHS, SUPPLY SERVICE CENTER, PERRY POINT, MARYLAND, intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price Contract for AB 7500 Fast Dx instruments, from ThermoFisher-Life Technologies 5791 Van Allen Way, Carlsbad, CA 92008 for use by public health/BioWatch laboratories located across the country Research was conducted and only ThermoFisher Life Technologies manufactures and sells the AB 7500 Fast DX.� The instruments are used to support daily sample screening, verification testing (as needed), reagent quality control and Quality Assurance program sample analyses. DHS requires a bulk purchase of instruments to ensure instrument performance, quality assurance, quality control, and cost objectives.� The testing performed using the 7500 Fast Dx instruments supports an early warning DHS bio detection system used to help identify bioterrorism events. Different potential vendors were researched, and quotes were obtained from other instrument manufacturers. However, only the original equipment manufacturer ThermoFisher-Life Technologies provides the AB7500 Fast Dx and services them. Use of any other company/vendor/instrument other than ThermoFisher-Life Technologies would result in incompatibility of daily testing, screening, verification and result in complete invalidation of process/protocols leading to complete failure of current processes and daily analysis results of the bio detection surveillance system for an early warning for bioterrorism. The proposed contract action is for The Department of Homeland Security.� The incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2022-06. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 339113.�� Interested vendors may identify their interests and capabilities to the requirement no later than 10:00 am EST, July 28, 2022 by email only to leslie.lucas@psc.hhs.gov (NO PHONE CALLS).�� The Government will consider all responses, but a determination not to compete this action is solely under the discretion of the Government. This action is under the authority of 41 United States Code (U.S.C.) 253(c) (3)(B) as set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 (Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements).
