The National Institutes of Health intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to Mettler-Toledo Rainin UEI – HFLPNNEX5MZ7.

In accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1, Mettler-Toledo Rainin 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:

The Neurobiology Neurodegeneration & Repair Laboratory (NNRL) require specialized equipment to pipette accurately over 96 wells.

Brand Name only: NNRL performs genetic analyses to elucidate the role of transcription factors, methylation, and proteins in development and disease progression in retina. This device will increase the throughput of our assays, allowing for higher efficiency and reduced costs. Only manufacturer of a product that could be used in our systems.

This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. Mettler-Toledo Rainin 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 eight (8) days after the date of this notice unless the Government determines that another organization has the capability to meet this requirement.
