VII. Justification for other than Full and Open Competition
| ☒ | 41 USC 253(c)(1) and FAR Part 13.106-1(b): Brand Name |
| ☐ | 41 USC 501 and FAR Part 8.405-6: Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), limited competition Brand Name |
Demonstration that the proposed contractor(s) unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited.
1. Describe why only the requested supply/service will meet the government’s needs:
SPT Labware is the only vendor that can provide this instrument. There is no other liquid handler commercially available that uses positive displacement at such a small volume. Also, we have another SPT instrument in the lab and we can link our protocols to the Firefly so that the machines can run side by side. Purchasing another liquid handler form another vendor would result in major delays to the VRC’s VIP research efforts. Continuity of vendors for liquid handling purposes is a must to ensure that our experimental results are not influenced by new variables.
