Description

sow March 18th 2015 Requisition #: 15-007290 Notice of Intent to Sole Source The National Institute of Health Office of Purchasing and Contracts intends to negotiate a Brand Name one year standing order to a vendor who can provide various Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) kits, reagents and other consumables for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with under the authority of 6.302-1. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 325413, and the size standard is 500 Employees This notice of intent to award is not a request for competitive quotations. Interested concerns capable of providing the same or similar products or services as described in this notice may submit a capability statement outlining their capabilities. No solicitation is available. Information received will be evaluated for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Capability Statements must be received within the time set forth in this synopsis to be considered by the Government. A determination to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The following verbiage is directly from the Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC). The Department of Laboratory Medicine requires various kits, reagents and other consumables used in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with hematological disorders. The testing done using these antibodies and reagents is for basic clinical care, research, and advancing the science and applications associated with diagnostic analysis of hematological disorders such as PNH, Large Cell Granulomas and Myeloproliforative diseases. The product must be manufactured by BD as it is the only authorized reagents, commodities and kits to fully function with the BD FACSCanto II that is validated and used in the Clinical Center. In accordance with FAR 6.203-1, only one source available, no substitutions possible (Also see Brand Name FAR 11.105). The nature of harm that would be brought to patient care and NIH CC DPM if NIH does not have continuity of service in place would be that NIH CC patients could stand the risk of not receiving the best possible treatment. Many of these patients are here at the NIHCC on research/testing due to their unique conditions/diseases. Once our laboratory receives the reagents, we must perform quality control testing before we can use the new reagents for patient testing. Any delay in acquiring the products would exponentially delay the reporting of critical patient results and possibly delay patient care. Establishing a standing order in which the supplying company ships the antibodies and reagents upon request reduces time spent on generating all the paperwork needed to purchase the antibodies and reagents on a smaller scale and ensures the timely delivery of antibodies and reagents thus reducing the chance of patient testing delays. The following is the anticipated yearly amounts or commodities, kits and reagents for the BD FACSCanto II that is used the patient care testing. The items will be called in as needed. The following requirements for quoting are • Pricing must be good for 1 year from the date of the award. Anticipated period of performance is April 6th, 2015 - April 5th, 2016. • Must show list price and discounted price • Vendors must quote at a quantity of one (1) as quantities may change • Vendor must state freight charges/term. Freight may be included in cost of items. Government has the option to use there account *Note additional items may be added to the contact if: New testing or procedures dictates it There is obsolete product with new product replacements Antibody cat# #Bottles/yr CD10 APC 340922 3 CD117 APC 341106 2 CD117 PerCP Cy5.5 333944 8 CD11b APC 340937 2 CD123 APC 560087 2 CD13 PE 340686 2 CD138 PE 552026 1 CD14 APCH7 641394 3 CD15 PE 555402 12 CD15 PerCP Cy5.5 560828 12 CD15 PE Cy7 560827 3 CD16 FITC 555406 2 CD16 PE 555407 1 CD16 PerCP Cy5.5 338433 24 CD19 FITC 340409 2 CD19 PE Cy7 341103 3 CD19 PE 340364 6 CD2 PE 555327 2 CD25 FITC 340694 1 CD27 APC 337169 1 CD3 PerCP 347344 5 CD3 PerCP Cy5.5 340948 6 CD33 PerCP Cy5.5 341650 10 CD34 PerCP Cy5.5 347213 6 CD34 PE-Cy7 348801 3 CD36 FITC 656152 3 CD4 PE 347327 1 CD4 PerCP 340671 2 CD42b FITC 555472 3 CD45 PerCP 340665 1 CD45 APC Cy7 557833 4 CD45 V500 560777 9 CD5 PE 347307 4 CD5 APC 340683 1 CD5 PerCP Cy5.5 341089 3 CD55 PE 555694 6 CD56 PE 340363 1 CD56 APC 341026 1 CD57 FITC 347393 5 CD59 PE 555764 6 CD61 FITC 348093 3 CD8 APC 340659 2 CD8 APCH7 641409 2 HbF PE 560041 2 IgG1 PE 555749 3 IgG1 PerCP 349044 1 IgG1 PerCP Cy5.5 347202 6 Kappa FITC 643774 10 Lambda PE 642924 3 Comp Beads 552843 2 FACS Lysing Solution 349202 10 Stabilizing Fixative 338036 18 shutdown solution 334224 2 FACS Clean 340345 2 CD8 FITC 347313 2 CD8 PE 340046 2 CD8 PerCP 340693 2 CD14 PE 340683 1 All responses are due to the Contract Specialist within 15 calendar days from the date of this synopsis.
