00HCTBDH-2007-44271 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award, on a sole source basis, a purchase order to TOMTEC Inc of Sherman Ave., Hamden, CT 06514-1337. A Purchase Order will be issued for 1 (one) each Quadra4 NS Liquid Handling Workstation - pipeting system with a 6 station automatic table and embedded computer running GuI Command software. Provides 96 simultaneous 450ul pipette tips. The workstation includes indexing/reformatting stage and full screen programming from an internal CPU. The authority for this sole source procurement is FAR 6.302-1. Justification for other than full and open competition is considered due to continued need to match existing products for on-going research being conducted by the CDC, National Center for Environmental Health; and the existence of limited rights in data, patent rights and copyrights which make this equipment available from only one source. This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available. Firms that believe they can provide the laboratory equipment are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting Officer within 5 days of the publication date of this synopsis. Determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the U.S. Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquires may be sent to Russell T. Oxford by email at [email protected] or by fax to 770-488-2670.
