PR 30831 - Whitley Anaerobe Chamber Service Agreement
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to K&R Technologies, Microbiology International for the procurement of a service maintenance agreement for the Whitley Anaerobe Chamber. Microbiology International is the sole US distributor and provides all technical product support of the Whitley Workstation A45 in the USA. Any repairs needed would require another provider to contact the manufacturer for the products and services information which would increase the overall cost. Obtaining the requested service from the sole US distributor will be a cost savings for the government. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1).. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to contract specialist at kpy3@cdc.gov by 10 a.m. 29 March 2019.
