Description

PURCHASE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT: Under authority 41 U.S.C. 253©(1), the Government anticipates entering into a sole source procurement to purchase a Cytyc ThinPrep 2000 Cytology Specimen Processor for the NF/SG VHS in Gainesville, FL, to include the equipment, installation, and training at manufacturer's site for one pathologist and one cytotechnologist. NAICS code 334516 applies to this procurement. This contract action is for equipment for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1 (b) (4) only one responsible source and no other equipment or training will satisfy agency requirements. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquistion Procedures of FAR Part 13 in accordance with the Commercial Item Acquisition Format of FAR Part 12. Interested parties will be considered if the response includes a clear understanding that their submission has the identical capabilities of the Cytyc ThinPrep 2000 Processor, i.e., uses an automated vacuum process rather than a gravity system. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received on or before September 4, 2007, will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No telephone requests will be accepted. View VA solicitations and contract actions via FedBizOpps at http://www.fbo.gov/spg/VA/index.html.
