What this contract is for

Sole Source Justification and Notice Authority: FAR 6.302-1 – Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements 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. System Compatibility: Roberts Oxygen currently provides the bulk liquid and gaseous nitrogen services supporting NIDDK research operations. Transitioning to another supplier would require replacement or modification of existing equipment and service interfaces, resulting in significant operational downtime, personnel retraining, and unacceptable risk to temperature-sensitive research materials and ongoing scientific operations. Proven Performance: Roberts Oxygen has demonstrated reliable performance through consistent delivery, proactive monitoring, and timely replenishment of liquid nitrogen supplies, ensuring uninterrupted support for critical research activities. Operational Requirements: Roberts Oxygen monitors tank levels and independently schedules deliveries to ensure that liquid nitrogen supplies remain uninterrupted and that neither bulk storage tank is depleted.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
