The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering Research and Development Center-Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) has a requirement to purchase air compressor equipment for start-up of a new unit (the Getinge 733 LS-E Steam Sterilizer/Autoclave) in a scientific laboratory autoclave system, in addition to obtaining a Preventative Maintenance (PM) coverage agreement to maximize the life cycle of the existing unit for a base year and four option years. ERDC-CERL intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Scientific Services Plus LLC in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Scientific Services Plus (SSP) has been determined to be the only source available to satisfy the Government’s requirement. CERL installed a new autoclave unit (Getinge 733 LS) in last year (FY21) to complement their existing autoclave system. SSP is the current contractor providing preventative maintenance (PM) coverage on CERL’s existing Beta Star N161626 and Sterilco SV-450 autoclaves. The Getinge 733 LS will be incorporated into the existing autoclave system that includes those units, and therefore it is imperative that the SSP team that has familiarity with the existing system perform the start-up of the unit to ensure interoperability capabilities and performs ongoing PM in a manner that ensures continuity between the units. Because of these reasons Scientific Services Plus LLC is the sole source for this procurement. This is not a request for proposal and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. This is not a small business set aside. Any interested party that believes they can fulfill this requirement should submit a capability statement to be reviewed. All submissions will be considered, however there is no guarantee that submissions in response to this notice will in any way alter the Government’s acquisition strategy.
