Why no open competition: The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the directive; The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
Published justification: A fully integrated, modular, autonomous bioengineering platform comprising a workcell incorporating a 10-position automated carousel to supply the labware, PAA collaborative robot (KX-2 750), multiple 3rd party instruments. The system is enclosed with HEPA filtered downflow units over the instrumentation to provide a contamination free environment within the workcell. PAA supplies the platform as one piece including all the 3rd party instruments. The platform of the same type that was supplied by PAA to NIST. Therefore, the platform is to facilitate cross-NMI collaborations in developing standards and metrology for EngBio.
