Agency: HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF / CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION
Location: Atlanta, GA
Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 334516
Scope: Federal

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) intends to award a sole source purchase order to the Herman-Robbins, LLC (dba Imtakt USA), 500 SW 116th Ave, Portland, OR, 97225 for the purchase of Purchase of Imtakt Liquid Chromatography Columns.

The authority for this sole source acquisition is in accordance with FAR Part 12.102(a).

The program requires replacement Imtakt Unison UK-C-18 and Cadenza HS-C18 liquid chromatography columns, which are consumable items depleted through routine use in assays that detect and measure antiretroviral drugs in biological specimens.

These assays were developed and validated specifically using these column products, and method validation for the testing is tied directly to the exact column chemistry used during development; substituting a different column could alter retention time, resolution, and reproducibility, requiring costly and time-prohibitive revalidation and risking disruption to ongoing antiretroviral drug monitoring where result accuracy and consistency are critical.

Imtakt Unison UK-C-18 and Cadenza HS-C18 columns are proprietary products manufactured by Imtakt Corporation, and Imtakt USA is the sole authorized source through which these exact columns can be procured; therefore, Imtakt USA is the only responsible source capable of supplying the replacement columns needed to maintain the validity and continuity of the program's existing assays.

As a result of this synopsis, no competitive solicitation will be posted on sam.gov.

We will issue only one solicitation to the identified entity.

However, responsible sources that believe they can meet these requirements are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notice by providing a capability...

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.
