14. Description: The CytoFLEX mosaic spectral detection module represents the next step in the evolution of the CytoFLEX platform. It provides spectral flow cytometry capabilities for our LX instrument. With this module, investigators in NHGRI can mix and match different detection methods in one instrument, increasing capacity without the need to invest in a new independent instrument.

The CytoFLEX mosaic spectral detection module is an “add-on” to the existing LX analyzer. With the addition of the spectral detection unit NHGRI investigators will be able to develop more complex flow experiments while retaining the ability to do conventional flow cytometry analysis.

15. Statutory Authority:

This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13—Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.106-1

(b) (1), Soliciting from a single source and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. Contracts awarded using FAR Part 13— Simplified Acquisition Procedures are exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6—Competition Requirements.

16. Single-sole Source (Including brand-name) Determination:

The determination by the Government to make a single-sole source (Including brand-name) award is based upon the market research conducted as prescribed in FAR Part 10—Market Research, specifically the results of the market research concluded: Beckman Coulter is the only company that manufactures the spectral module for the CytoFLEX -LX instruments, therefore limiting the availability of the module on the Open Market. Only approved distributors of Beckman Couter can provide the module.
