65 -- Purchase of Fetal Bovine Serum

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to issue a sole source purchase order to Atlas Biologicals, Inc, 309 S. Summit View Drive #16, Fort Collins, CO 80524-1462, for a total of 200 (two hundred) 500ml bottles of Fetal Bovine Serum F-0500-A. The serum provided by Atlas Biologicals matches the batch lots used in previous CDC testing and is required to ensure that the previous test results are not invalidated. Due to the conditions of the testing, the product must be 100 percent U.S. origin; all of the serum in the lot must come from animals processed in the United States only. CDC believes that this requirement is met by only one provider. This procurement will be processed under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and 6.302-2. Only one responsible source and no other sources will satisfy agency requirements. No solicitation is being issued. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. This procurement is not set-aside for small business. For contractual questions contact Linda M. Young.
