In accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1, Leica Microsystems is the Contractor that is the only known responsible source who can provide the item that meets our standards. No other source has been identified who can provide the requirement listed below:

1. Contractor’s unique qualifications:

0. Replacement parts: Data available is not adequate to assure that these parts, if procured from another manufacturer, will perform the same function in the equipment/system as the parts to be replaced.

0. Equipment upgrade/repair: Leica guarantees the effectiveness of their microscopes and extensive customer support is included in the purchase of these systems.

0. Proprietary data: Only Leica can provide the follow-on service and maintenance because of proprietary data.

This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. Leica Microsystems is the manufacturer. However, any available small businesses (e.g., 8(a), service-disabled veteran owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, veteran-owned small business, and women-owned small business) as stated herein may submit a written capability statement that clearly supports and demonstrates their ability to perform the requirement. A determination by the Government to compete this proposed award based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

It is anticipated that an award will be issued approximately three (3) days after the date of this notice unless the Government determines that another organization has the capability to meet this requirement.
