In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, the Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to award a delivery/task order, on a sole source basis, to PerkinElmer Health Sciences Inc. (PerkinElmer) to purchase the NexION 300/350D ICP-Spectrometer and associated components and software because the NETL instruments currently in use and being operated are manufactured by PerkinElmer. It is imperative that additional analytical instruments, software, and accessories be PerkinElmer to maintain compatibility, coverage of manufacturer warranty, and to ensure the instrumentation operates as intended. This is considered a sole source to PerkinElmer because, to the best of the NETL’s knowledge and based on market research conducted, PerkinElmer is the only known source that can provide this type of service. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 5:00 PM ET on August 30, 2016. Responses must be submitted in writing to [email protected] no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
