The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1- only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirement. The NAICS code for this procurement is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The period of performance for this procurement is a 12 month base year and 2 option periods of 12 months each. As the original equipment manufacturer of these instruments, Sequenom is the only contractor that can provide maintenance support of Sequenom equipment. This equipment is ran by propritary Sequenom software. Accordingly, because instrumentation and software purchased are proprietary, no other manufacturer can provide the required software function upgrades and maintenance. As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on FedBizOpps. We will issue only one solicitation to Sequenom. However, responsible sources that believe they can meet these requirements are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notice by providing a capability statement to the Contracting Officer by March 13, 2012. The Contracting Officer will not respond to verbal request. All requests must be in writing. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action will be based on responses to this notice and are solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
