- Description
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute intends to negotiate on a non-competitive basis with Vashaw Scientific, Inc., 3125 Medlock Bridge Road, Norcross, Georgia, 30071, to purchase an upgrade to an existing government owned Leica Photo- DMRXA Microscope. The Leica DM R Microscope upgrade package will enhance the performance and replace the existing outdated hardware and software. The government owned Leica Photo- DMRXA Microscope is required to be upgraded only by an authorized dealer of Leica. Therefore Vashaw Scientific, who originally installed the equipment has the knowledge of the existing hardware and software that is required to be upgraded. A change in the product would effect ongoing laboratory research and threaten the investment already made, and would not provide any cost savings to the Government. This acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures and is exempt from the requirement of FAR Part 6. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)Code is 334516, size standard is 500 employee. There are no set aside restrictions for this acquisition. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this requirement. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct future competitive procurement. Responses to this announcement, referencing synopsis number NHLBI-PS-2004-085, may be submitted in writing to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Contracts Operations Branch, Procurement Section, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Rockledge Building 2, Suite 6042, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-7902, Attention: Deborah Coulter.
