The Department of Veterans Affairs Great Lakes Acquisition Center intends to enter into a sole source procurement contract with Molecular Devices Corporation for a SpectraMax M5e Dual Monochromator Microplate Reader to be used at the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This procurement is being conducted under Statutory Authority 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as the government has determined that this specific model is the only product capable of meeting its minimum requirements. The selected equipment is uniquely qualified due to its ability to provide free changes in excitation and emission wavelengths, allowing for the measurement of nearly any fluorophor without additional parts. Key technical advantages include the capacity for Fret Analysis for the co-localization of two molecules and the ability to scan all wavelengths from 300 to 700nm at 10nm increments. Interested parties were given until January 28, 2009, to demonstrate their capability to meet these specific requirements before the government finalized its decision on competitive procurement.
