About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has published a Special Notice expressing its intent to award a noncompetitive contract for the procurement of an Olympus BX53 Microscope and DP75 Camera, which will be manufactured by Evident Scientific, Inc. This acquisition will utilize simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13.5 for commercial items.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the public of the USDA's plan to sole-source this procurement to Evident Scientific, Inc. due to the proprietary nature of the CellSens software, which is only compatible with Olympus microscopes, and the need for next-day, on-site repair support that Evident Scientific can provide. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, the USDA will consider responses from any responsible sources who can demonstrate their capability to meet the stated requirements. Responses must be submitted by August 30th, 2024 at 5 pm CT, and the government will use the information received to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
