A15 - Sole Source Brand Name Doc - Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Brand Name Documentation that supports the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) intent to award a sole source purchase order to Agilent Technologies for Cary 60 UV-VIS spectrophotometer systems. The DEA is using the brand name exception under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) to procure these systems. The DEA is providing notice, as required, and is not requesting competitive quotes. However, interested vendors who believe they can meet the requirements are invited to submit capability statements by the archive date. The Government will use the information received to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted, but is under no obligation to award a contract or provide feedback. The Sole Source Documentation is attached for reference.
