- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)/Animal Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) intends to award a sole source contract to the NuAire Inc., Plymouth, MN for one (1) Class III glove box and two (2) Class II 6 foot hoods for installation at the National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) in Ames, IA. The equipment is for use in handling unknown, potentially hazardous samples and specimens in a BSL-3 laboratory. This purchase will constitute an upgrade and will be integrated with the existing NuAire furnishings already existing within the facility. Therefore, in order to allow for interoperability and to achieve economies of maintenance the equipment must be 100 percent compatible with existing NuAire furnishings. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, NuAire Inc., is the sole manufacturer and distributor of systems containing unique operating features that satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements. This procurement is being conducted in accordance FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements. Contract is firm fixed price. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the size standard is 500. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitations documents are available and telephone requests will not be honored. However, if a firm believes it can meet the requirements it must furnish information about its products and services, as well as three (3) references from other customers who are using these products and service, to the Contracting Officer by 3:30 p.m. Central Time (CT) on Wednesday, September 3, 2008. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to comply with the above requirement. Responses received after the response date or without the required information will be deemed nonresponsive to the synopsis and will not be considered. Capability statements may be sent to: Daniel M. Kline, Contracting Specialist, USDA-APHIS-MRPBS, ASD Procurement Branch, Butler Square Building, 5th Floor, 100 N. 6th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55403, or via email @ daniel.m.kline@aphis.usda.gov or fax @ (612) 336-3550. Responses received will be evaluated however; a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, APHIS will proceed with the sole source procurement with NuAire Inc.
