This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. BACKGROUND This is a request for maintenance services for the Getinge USA autoclaves(x5) located in the NIDCR Division of Intramural Research (DIR), Office of the Scientific Director (OSD) in Building 30. In both process development and quality assurance laboratories, there is a need to have clean and sterile laboratory utensils and glassware. A yearly maintenance agreement is required to ensure the autoclaves run smoothly and work as expected under the equipment's warranty. Any disruptions in service would be detrimental to experiments in progress. The period of performance will be one year. SOLE SOURCE STATEMENT The basis for the sole source determination is based upon the fact that: Only one source is available: Getinge USA, Inc. is the only company who can provide maintenance to the autoclaves referenced in the solicitation. These autoclaves are proprietary to Getinge and if another company were to provide maintenance, the warranty would be invalidated. This acquisition is conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c) as set forth under FAR Part 13.106-1 (b) and is exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6, Competition Requirements. The North American Classification System (NAICS) code applicable to this requirement is 811219 - with a size standard of $19M in revenue. This Pre-Solicitation/Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. This announcement constitutes the only notice; proposals are not being request and a written solicitation will not be issued. The determination by the Government to award a contract on a sole source noncompetitive basis to provide maintenance to five (5) autoclaves currently located in Building 30 in the Division of Intramural Research (DIR), NIDCR to Getinge USA, Inc. 1777 East Henrietta Road, Rochester, NY, 14623-3133 is solely within the discretion of the Government.
