About this file
This document contains a justification for a brand name sole source procurement of a Tube Writer 400 automated label printer. The Laboratory of Neurological Infections and Immunity at the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases requires the printer to efficiently label samples for ongoing research and storage. The justification cites increased efficiency, prevention of sample loss or illegibility from manual labeling, and freeing up researchers' time as needs only met by the Tube Writer 400. It asserts the machine reduces labeling time by 80% and eliminates human error, and can be used for multiple applications including sample identification and analytical chemistry.
The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation for the brand name Tube Writer 400 tube labeling system from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The document provides justification for a sole source procurement to meet the defined needs.

Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition at or Below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold
Project Title: Tube Writer 400
A. Project Background The Laboratory of Neurological Infections and Immunity (LNII) studies persistent active or latent viral or prion disease infections. The major research goals of the laboratory are to understand basic pathogenic mechanisms induced by these infections, to study immune or other defense mechanisms used by infected individuals against infections, and to develop drug therapies capable of reducing or eliminating such infections. All aspects of LNII research involves sample collection, data analysis, and storage. The purchase of an automated label printer is invaluable to the lab.
B. Project Description Fast, efficient, and secure labeling is critical for on-going research and storage of materials. This machine will be shared amongst LNII allowing researchers more time to conduct research.
I. Identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition (SELECT ONE) ☒ 41 USC 253(c)(1) and FAR Part 6.302-1: Only one responsible source/ Brand Name -Manufacturer: Tubewriter
A. Describe why only the requested supply/service will meet the government’s needs The machine will increase efficiency and productivity. Manually placed labels become dislodged or illegible when stored in low temperature freezers, the tube writer will prevent potential loss of invaluable material. Most importantly, this automated machine will free up human resources to perform mission critical research.
B. Describe why only the proposed contractor is capable of providing the requested supply/service The machine reduces labeling time by 80%, eliminates human error and sample loss. It can be used over multiple applications, including sample ID, analytical chemistry, and biorepository.
