- Description
- The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Contracting and General Services, Portland, Oregon intends to award a sole source fixed price purchase order to Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1, Other Than Full and Open Completion procedures. This acquisition is to support a one-time purchase of a DNA extractor for the monitoring of fish parasites at the USFWS California Fish Health Center. Monitoring of fish parasites requires DNA testing of tissues, and efficient DNA extraction is critical to this effort because of the large sample numbers processed, thus the need of a DNA extractor that is efficient and has high throughput. After preliminary market research and comparison with similar equipment, the ABI instrument has shown to extract DNA in a sufficient manner and the cost per sample is comparable to the cost of the machine currently in use. The equipment is considerably more affordable compared to other equipment that was reviewed. Specific characteristics of materials and equipment limits the availability and patented property rights only to Applied Biosystems. The unique features and function of the equipment will best meet the requirements needed at the fish health center. The vendor provides warranty work and servicing and has demonstrated the ability to provide these services. This is not a request for quotes and no written solicitation will be issued. Nevertheless, any firm that is capable of meeting the requirements described herein may submit a response not later than close of business on 7/30/10. Response to this posting must be submitted in writing via email. Any questions or comments should be directed to Linda Askew at linda_askew@fws.gov NAICS 334516
