This contract action is for commercial services under NAICS code 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing for which the agency intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under Authority, 6.302-1 and FAR 13.106-1(b), Simplified Acquisition procedures.
The Conservation Genetics Lab at Northeast Fishery Center is in need of a small volume liquid handler to replace a discontinued instrument. We will be purchasing the following items from Analytik Jena:

The CyBio Selma is a semi-automatic pipettor with minimal required space. The CyBio Selma is optimized for fast and precise processing of 96- and 384-well microplates without the need for programming and a separate computer control system. This allows an easy and reproducible transfer of 96 or 384 samples in only one pipetting step. Pipetting, dispensing, mixing and further pipetting modes are directly selectable and the intuitive touch screen allows for the easy creation of any liquid handling workflow. The CyBio Selma features a compact footprint and fits on any lab bench as well as into most laminar flow hoods. The automatic tip tightening function reduces time and pre-loaded tip magazines ensure immediate use. Tips are changed within seconds.
Analytik Jena CyBio® Selma products can only be purchased directly thru the Manufacturer.
Analytik Jena’s equipment is unique in configuration and technology. All parts used in this equipment are manufactured by or for Analytik Jena. No other company has detailed knowledge of the proprietary materials, engineering design and process which are employed in the manufacturing of this equipment.
FWS anticipates an award in August 2023 with a proposed period of performance of one month.
