Market Research conducted by the Government in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 10, Market Research, has determined that the sole / single source reference, is currently the only company that can provide the services / items specified herein. THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), Office of Acquisition (OA) for the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a sole source noncompetitive basis to Sigma-Aldrich, 3050 Spruce Street, Saint Louis, MO 63103 for (2) two Custom Zinc Finger Nucleases, CSTZFN-1KT. These custom-designed primers that allow for determination of the rate of mutation and for screening of individual clones that have the desired mutational event. Sigma-Aldrich will design and test several ZFN pairs for two target genes identified by the customer, this will complement the on-going resequencing project recently developed. The sole source determination is based upon the results of the market research conducted by the Government which determined that Sigma-Aldrich is the only vendor that currently holds exclusive commercial rights to zinc-finger nuclease technology for research purposes under licenses granted and/or sublicensed from Sangamo Biosciences, John Hopkins University, MIT, Scripps, the University of Utah, the MRC, and Caltech. Sigma-Aldrich is the only worldwide commercial source of zinc finger nucleases for research use. Therefore, an award to any other source is not feasible or practical.
