- Description
- Synopsis: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Acquisitions and Grants Services (OAGS), Division of Acquisition Operations (DAO) has a requirement for the Modifications of Genomic and Proteomics Software and Provision of Proficiency Testing for FDA Laboratories. This requirement will be sole sourced to Central Sciences Laboratory (CSL). Central Science Laboratories possesses considerable expertise in the area of multivariate statistics and bioinformatics and has considerable software development capabilities in these areas. CSL has written the software being modified to assist in the development of new analytical and microbiological methods to assist in food safety protection. The second set of services involves the provision of proficiency testing services to assist the US Food and Drug Administration in the assessment of its analytical and microbiological capabilities. This contract shall provide the Government with further develop software tools that can be used in combination with genomic and proteomic analysis of bacteria to produce data that can more readily identify and differentiate bacteria. These types of tools will be critical in the development of new methods for microbial forensics and traceback of foodborne diseases as part of the Food Protection Program. It will also provide Proficiency Testing programs for evaluation of the laboratory capabilities involved in food analysis. The NAICS code is: 541712. It is anticipated that one (1) firm-fixed price type contract is expected for a one (1) year period of performance. This is not a Request for Proposals. Sources interested in this requirement must provide a statement of capabilities in sufficient detail to determine if the requirements of this synopsis can be met.
