This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Getinge USA Sales, LLC, Wayne, NJ for 16 Sterilizers maintenance agreement. The Program Planning and Analysis Branch (PPAB) is seeking to procure upgraded Pneumatic Pilot Valves on autoclaves manufactured by GETINGE. Only OEM parts are allowed. This equipment needs to be in optimal operating order to perform continuing experiments related to the mission of the research laboratories in the Integrated Research Facility. The NIAID Integrated Research Facility is part of the National Interagency Biodefense Campus, a group of federal biomedical research facilities based at Fort Detrick, Maryland. The IRF is composed of 6 core laboratories: (1) Clinical Core, (2) Anatomic Pathology, (3) Cell Culture, (4) Imaging Physics, (5) Comparative Medicine, and (6) Aerobiology. Scientists at the IRF focus on developing prevention and treatment options that will be directly relevant to human diseases—whether they emerge naturally or are deliberately introduced. Advanced imaging technology and other state-of-the-art features inside a secure laboratory allow researchers to follow disease processes. Place of Performance is Ft. Detrick, Frederick, MD 21702. The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C. 1901(e)(2) as implemented by FAR 13.106-1 only one responsible source and no other supply of service will satisfy agency requirements.
