A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested. The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (CC) intends to award an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA 92121 on a sole source basis for continued the lease of the existing BD FACS™ Loader for Canto II, Serial No. F34206560003, and adding the following three instruments to the system: quantity 1- FACSLyric™ 3L10C Instrument, quantity 1-FACSLyric™ Universal Auto Loader US-IVD, and quantity 1-FACSDuet™ Premium Sample Preps instrumentation package inclusive of the supply of proprietary reagents, consumables, tests, and preventative and corrective maintenance service. The comprehensive system of the instrument, reagents, and service are necessary to produce complete testing results and are not sold in the U.S. by any distributors or other third parties, without the “PROPRIETARY” reagents patients in the Clinical Center cannot receive the cell therapy necessary for their treatment per protocols at NIH. Since the supplies are proprietary, there is only one supplier whose products can fit into the instrumentation; any other supply or service could cause the cancellation of the protocol/delays in completion of the protocol. Any deviation from the protocol must be reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for non-compliance. The Department of Laboratory Medicine (DLM) will telephone or e-mail request for reagents and supplies on a needed basis. The Period of Performance shall be for a base year of twelve (12) months from date of award with four (4) one (1) year option periods. The equipment and supply lists including quantities are attached to this notice and titled: Attachment 1 - List of Equipment and Attachment 2 - List of Supplies. The exact quantity of supplies cannot be estimated at the time of award, therefore an IDIQ contract type is most advantageous for this requirement.
