About this opportunity
This Special Notice from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announces the government's intent to award a single-source contract to Biotechne-ProteinSimple for the maintenance and support of two Jess instruments. The Jess instruments are used by APHIS at the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) and Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB) to evaluate and test animal biologics in order to uphold the Virus Serum Toxin Act. The total estimated cost for the annual contract is $27,824.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to justify the single-source award to Biotechne-ProteinSimple, as they are the sole manufacturer of the Jess instruments and the only approved provider of the required maintenance and support services. These services include calibration, annual preventive maintenance, software upgrades, on-site repair, and phone/remote support. The contracting officer has determined that Biotechne-ProteinSimple is the only responsible source available to meet the agency's requirements, and the loss of the Jess instruments would significantly impact CVB's testing capabilities and product approvals. The Special Notice does not indicate any deadlines, requirements, or instructions for contractors, as this is a sole-source procurement opportunity.
