STANDARD FORM 18 (REV. 6-95)

Prescribed by GSA - FAR (48 CFR) 53.215-1(a)

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

The Department of Interior US Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 Contracting and General Services Office, on behalf of the Unites States Fish and Wildlife Service in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with: Life Technologies Corporation.

To provide the following equipment:

Life Technologies 3500xl DNA sequencer

It is the only available scientific instrument that can read genetic data which was collected and stored from the previous model, a Life Technologies 3130xl purchased in 2003. Any other equipment would require at least 12 to 18 months of protocol validation and reference sample reanalysis to be able to analyze evidence. No forensic samples can be run on a new instrument until validation is complete.

Validation of the 3500xl will only require a performance validation with existing protocols and instrument programs transferred from existing instrumentation.

This procurement is a sole source requirement and is not a solicitation or a request for competitive proposal. A determination not to compete is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Reference PR 40540676. Responses must be received no later than 1:00 PM CST on July, 23, 2021 by sending an email to:
