Solicitation number 1232SA26Q0052 is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for CFX Opus 96 Real-Time PCR Detection System. This acquisition is set-aside for small business concerns. This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference. The full text of provisions and clauses may be accessed electronically at www.acquisition.gov.

All responsible sources may submit a quotation which will be considered by the agency. Statement of Requirement We have an urgent need for CFX Opus 96 Real-Time PCR Detection System since we currently use the same brand and model of PCR machines. Maintaining the same brand of PCR instrumentation in the laboratory is essential for data continuity and operational efficiency. First, data generated by this instrument will be fully compatible with the extensive historical datasets produced by the same brand of PCR machines that the laboratory has relied on for many years. This continuity is critical for longitudinal analyses, trend comparisons, and regulatory and scientific consistency. Second, continuing with the same brand minimizes additional costs and delays associated with implementing new safety protocols, maintenance procedures, and user training. Laboratory personnel are already familiar with the operating, safety, and quality-control requirements of this platform, allowing immediate deployment and reducing the risk of errors. Standardizing equipment within the laboratory therefore saves time, reduces operational costs, and ensures reliable and consistent performance FAR 52.225-3[CGT1] Buy American–Free Trade Agreements–Israeli Trade Act is included in this solicitation - One or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to Free Trade Agreements.

(End of provision) NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Ombudsman Program The USDA is committed to issuing solicitations and awarding contracts in a fair and prompt manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to address protest issues within the agency, providing an alternative to costly and time-consuming litigation. Operating independently, OPAP offers relief comparable to that granted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to resolve concerns through USDA’s internal Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process before pursuing external forums such as the GAO. Concerns may be addressed informally or through a formal agency protest filed with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman. Informal Forum with the Ombudsman Initial Point of Contact: Interested parties who believe a specific USDA procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer. Escalation: If the Contracting Officer is unable to address their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the USDA Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Utilization of the informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a formal protest with the agency or other forums. Required Information: To ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable). Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman Effort to Resolve: Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions. Independent Review: If the protester’s concerns remain unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest with either the Contracting Officer or, alternatively, with the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract awards or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless justified in writing for urgent and compelling reasons or determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. Resolution Timeline: The agency’s goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Required Information: Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.104(a)(3). Failure to submit the required information may result in a delay or dismissal of the protest. Timeliness: Protests must be filed within the timeframes specified in FAR 33.104. Submission: Formal protests under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer. Election of Forum. By initiating a protest with the USDA, the protester agrees not to pursue the same matter with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or any other external forum while the agency protest is pending. If a protest is filed externally, the agency protest will be dismissed.
