Description: NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contracting Office (NCO) 9, intends to issue a Firm Fixed Priced contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements, on or about January 1, 2022 to Biomerieux, Inc. The period of performance will be for 1 year after issuance of the notice to proceed with 4 option years.
The Tennessee Valley Healthcare System VA Medical Center (TVHS VAMC) has a requirement for a service contract on the Vitek 60 & Vitek Mass Spec instruments.
Service to include but is not limited to:
· Preventative Maintenance
· Corrective (emergency) Maintenance
· Modifications and Updates
· 24/7 Telephone Support
NCO 9 intends to non-competitively award this requirement to Biomerieux, Inc since Biomerieux, Inc has proprietary authorization to perform maintenance on Vitek 60 & Vitek Mass Spec instruments.
As a result, any contractor other than Biomerieux, Inc that would be allowed to work on, maintain, and/or tamper with the current system in any capacity would void the warranty of the Vitek 60 & Vitek Mass Spec instruments. Voidability of said warranty cannot be permitted.
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 811219 with the size standard of $22 million. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotes. However, all responsible sources may submit an offer and technical capabilities/narrative that proves by clear and convincing evidence that the current warranty provided by Biomerieux, Inc, for the Vitek 60 & Vitek Mass Spec instruments, will not be voided by having a contractor other than Biomerieux, Inc conduct the above referenced maintenance. If said offer and technical capabilities/narrative is received within 10 calendar days of publication of this notice, the narrative will be considered by NCO 9. All responses must be submitted to the Government point of contact at the email address shown below. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
