Contracting Activity: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
Proposed Contractor: Roberts Oxygen
Description of Requirement: The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract consisting of a one-year base period and two one-year option periods for the provision of bulk liquid nitrogen (LN2) supply, monitoring, and refill services.
Justification for Sole Source
Only One Responsible Source: Pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, Roberts Oxygen is the only known responsible source capable of providing the required bulk liquid nitrogen services while meeting NIDDK's compatibility, continuity of operations, and performance requirements.
