The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Biotage, Llc. Justification of the capability required is provided on the sole source justification document. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1). This requirement is to procure 1 (one) SPE Dry 96 Dual Sample Concentrator System for the direct usage in solvent evaporation as part of the sample preparation procedures in analyzing steroid hormones from the NHANES study as part of biomonitoring activities within the Protein Biomarkers laboratory of the Clinical Chemistry Branch due to spacing issues and cross contamination issues.
