Contracting Agency: 60th Contracting Squadron, Travis AFB CA. Purchase Request #: F3Z4537261AQ01 4. Description of Requirement: Service request for PM, Calibration, and repair including full AQ overage for parts and labor, of the Roche MagNa Pure LC DNA Purification/Analyzer; S/N LPCG0571. 5. Statutory Authority permitting other than full and open competition: Section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, as implemented by: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirement. 6. Justification or authority for action: A. This request is for the PM, Calibration and repair of a Roche MagNa Pure LC DNA Purification/Analyzer to full operational status. Roche Diagnostics, which is the original manufacturer of the analyzer, is the only known source for the requested service. B. Roche diagnostics is the original manufacturer and the only company that does the maintenance on this type of analyzer, therefore it is the only source that knows the units functional capabilities and maintenance whether it has a malfunctions or if it requires part replacements. C. This machine is currently down due to an error code and it?s a work stoppage. It is very critical because this equipment is required to process specimen samples for DOD research studies performed at the David Grant Medical Center Clinical Investigation Facility (CIF). Since they are the original Manufacturer, they are the only ones that have the right test equipments to do the maintenance on the unit. D. The unit is used for specimens that are tissue and bacterial samples which have a critical shelf life, so they must be tested promptly before they degrade. Therefore it is imperative that arrangements for a Roche service engineer be made urgently to return this unit to service. Delaying this repair will negatively affect the ongoing DOD research capabilities of the CIF. Furthermore more delaying this scheduled maintenance may result in more costly repairs and/or incorrect test results effecting ongoing research. 7. Market Research/ Other Facts: No other manufacturer of DNA analyzers or third party vendor could be located to service the MagNa Pure LC DNA Analyzer at this time. All repair parts are Roche Diagnostic proprietary items that are only available to service engineers employed by Roche Diagnostic Corporation. 8. Sole source company: Roche Diagnostics Corporation 800-526-1247 hotline 9. Steps to improve competition: Biomedical Engineering continues to evaluate other companies to meet parts/repair requirement. Currently, Roche Diagnostics is the only company that can perform repairs to this machine. //SIGNED// KRISTOFFER DERRICK L. CHUA, SRA, USAF Biomedical Equipment Repair Team 1, NCOIC
