- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute, Center for Cancer Research, Genetics Branch, plans to procure on a sole source basis with Affymetrix Inc., 3380 Central Expressway, Santa Clara, CA 95051 for yeast deletion bar coded oligo arrays. The Genetics Branch widely utilized the yeast deletion mutants for genetic and phenotypic analysis. The final readout is done by visual scoring of 6,000 strains which is a time consuming process that is prone to errors. Affymetrix has produced an array where yeast deletion strains were built with a unique barcode that matches to a precise location with respect to each gene. This permits rapid analysis of growth using the arrays with the barcodes. This technology has been used effectively and efficiently to evaluate genetic interactions and more recently for drug screens using yeast as a model system. This item is commercial as defined in FAR Part 2, and this acquisition is being made in accordance with the test program using simplified procedures for certain commercial items as authorized in FAR 13.5. Affymetrix, Inc. is the only organization known that has the aforementioned features that are required and believed to be unique and only their products will work with NCI?s Government owned Affymetrix equipment. This is not a request for competitive quotation. However, if any interested party believes it can meet the above requirement it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow the researcher to determine if the party can perform this requirement. An original and one copy of the capability statements must be received in the contracting office by 1:00 p.m. EDT, on September 8, 2004. All questions must be in writing and can be faxed to (301) 402-4513 or emailed to dm170b@nih.gov . It is the vendor?s responsibility to call (301) 402-4509 to insure questions have been received. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No collect call will be accepted.
