The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time, sole source, firm-fixed price purchase order with Gentueri, Inc. to acquire Custom Multi-barrier Envelopes. The purchase of these custom, clear on the long side, envelopes will allow the Federal DNA Datebase Unit (FDDU) to keep pace with the high amount and potential increase of samples requiring analysis and storage. The FDDU requires a specific custom size of these envelopes to allow for efficient storage space in the FDDU’s Lektriever Systems. The FDDU currently has a need for these specific envelopes, due to the increasing receipt of the type of DNA that must be stored in the custom envelopes, which caused the stock of envelopes to decrease exponentially. Market research and testing was conducted and while other vendors may provide similar products, Gentueri, Inc. have provided envelopes that meet the specific requirements indicated above. If FDDU fails to obtain these pouches, the unit will need to approach other vendors to provide a compatible pouch and repeat testing with the RFID tags, costing valuable time and hindering the check-in process. The Custom Multi-Barrier Envelopes will be used in accordance with the FDDU Procedures Manual. Gentueri, Inc. is offering the multi-barrier pouch at a fair and reasonable price, thus saving the FDDU a substantial amount of money compared to previous pouches used. Therefore, the recommended source for the purchase of the Custom Multi-barrier Envelopes is Gentueri, Inc. This notice will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration’s beta.SAM.gov website (www.beta.SAM.gov).
