High Efficiency MVE Freezer

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requires an award of a purchase order to Select Gases, LLC for a replacement high efficiency MVE freezer. MVE freezers are the only liquid nitrogen cryogenic storage units that are compatible with our existing freezer monitoring system, which allow for continuous temperature monitoring, remote interaction to control and schedule functionality. This allows for quick response to system issues and provides assurance that sample integrity will be maintained. MVE models provide added benefit because they are the only units that allow for -80 degree storage with system compatibility. Select Gasses is the only regional distributor of these freezers who can perform the installation, maintenance and Warranty Service. Pursuant to, FAR 13.106(1) (b), Soliciting from a single source, (1) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, (i) Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization). The CDC has determined that Select Gases, LLC is the only company that meets the requirements to provide this high efficiency MVE freezer, allowing the continuous specific functionality and local rapid service required. Therefore, award of a Firm-Fixed Price purchase order is being contemplated in accordance with FAR Part 13. Any questions regarding this notice shall be submitted in writing only to Laurie Taylor at [email protected]. The anticipated date of award is May 5, 2020. It is your responsibility to keep up with any additional postings regarding this announcement on the beta.sam.gov website. Telephone inquiries will not be honored.
