Description:
This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a fixed price purchase order to Life Technologies Corporation, located at 3175 Staley Rd, Grand Island, NY 14072, on a firm fixed price sole source award basis to provide reagents and consumables that are needed to run Life Technologies instruments at the Department of Laboratory Medicine (DLM) at National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center (CC).
Life Technologies Scientific is the sole-source manufacturer and supplier of the
consumables and kits that are used in the laboratory. There are other types of
kits that are on the market, however, they work differently than what have been
validated for our patients. These reagents have been fully validated for use in
BCR-ABL fusion assay, cKIT mutation assay and JAK2 mutation assay.
Switching to another system would entail lengthy validations and would alter
current results of our protocols. The department has been very conscientious
about cost savings and has thoroughly investigated and validated patient testing
using these consumables and reagents. The possibility of inconsistent data could
result from switching vendors and equipment. It could also necessitate additional
quality control mechanisms. This could cause potential delays in patient care,
protocols and incur unwarranted government expenditure and waste.
