PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a sole source, fixed-price contract with VAISALA Inc., 197 South Taylor Ave., Louisville, CO. 80027, for the purchase of calibration and maintenance services for VAISALA Loggers and software. The FBI's Laboratory Division, DNA Support Unit (DSU), DNA Casework Unit (DCU), and the Federal DNA Database Unit (FDDU) procured a temperature monitoring system in 2008 that monitors all critical temperature equipment in the Unit(s). This system includes temperature monitors and the software that performs the monitoring. To ensure the continued efficient operation of this system, yearly maintenance, and calibration services are needed for both the Loggers and respective software by a certified VAISALA technician. Based on market research, and Government end-users, Veriteq is the only manufacture for the probes that are compatible with the existing system currently in use. Vaisala is the only authorized company that can provide maintenance and calibration of the existing system and proprietary software. This notice will be distributed solely through the Official U.S. Government System for Contract Opportunities Website, SAM.gov. Interested parties are responsible for monitoring this site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition. The FBI intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, per FAR 5.207(16)(ii), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which the agency shall consider. All capability statements or quotes shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer, Adelle Bolton, by email.

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
