- Description
- NAICS Code: 541990 NAICS Code: 541990 All Other Professional, Scientific and Technical Services with a size standard of $5.0 millions of dollars. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to negotiate a sole source purchase order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures to GEHealthcare Bio-Sciences Corporation, P.O. Box 1327, 800 Centennial Avenue, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1327 for a GE Healthcare Typhoon 9410 Variable Mode Imager Preventative Maintenance (PM) agreement with a one-year base period plus two option years. This PM service includes, but is not limited to: 1) replacement of elastomers, o-rings, pH electrodes and consumable components [excludes flow cells and UV lamps], calibration and functional tests; 2) priority response; 3) parts coverage for all parts and consumable equipment components (on a part-for-part exchange basis; 4) GE Healthcare Service Engineer labor and travel coverage with unlimited service calls; and 5) Bio In-Site secure digital connectivity between GE Healthcare and the Typhoon 9410 Variable Mode Imager. GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences Corporation has exclusive copyrights, patents, and/or trade secret ownership; and, therefore, is the only vendor that can satisfy the requirement. In order to ensure correct instrument operation, the circumstance permitting is FAR 13.106-1 (b) (1) "only one source reasonably available". The base period of performance is expected to be from November 3, 2008 through November 2, 2009. The intent of this notice is to determine if any other source(s) exist; and, therefore, no solicitation (RFQ) is available. Consequently, any response failing to demonstrate the contractor's ability to provide instrument maintenance and instead choosing merely to submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the RFQ will be ignored. The information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Interested parties may submit written qualification statements, fully explaining their capability, no later than 10 days after the date of this publication. Submit your response to the U.S. EPA, Attn: Barbara L. Mattison (MC E105-02), 109 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park {RTP} Procurement Operations Division, Durham, NC 27711; by fax to (919) 541-4273; or, by electronic mail to Mattison.Barbara@epa.gov. No telephone or faxed requests will be honored.
