Description

The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with BD GeneOhm Sciences, 6146 Nancy Ridge Drive, San Diego, California 92121 for the BD GeneOhm Cdiff Assay kit and the Staph SR Assay Kit. The BD GeneOhm Cdiff Assay kit is composed of the following assay specific reagents, and utilizes the Smart Cycler 2 instrument to provide test results. Sample buffer Tris-EDTA buffer, Lysis tube Glass beads, Master mix < 0.0005 % DNA polymerase complex,< 0.001% Internal Control - non-infectious DNA containing tcdb-primer binding sequences and a unique sequence for probe hybridization, < 0.002 % primers < 0.002 % molecular probes, < 0.05 % Nucleotide mix (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP),Bovine serum albumin, Carbohydrate, MgCL2, < 0.001 % non-infectious genomic DNA of Escherchia coli (ATCC 25922) Control DNA Tris-EDTA buffer, Carbohydrate, < 0.001 % non-infectious genomic DNA of C. difficile bearing tcdB gene (ATCC 43255), Diluent Tris-HCl buffer, MgCL2, (NH4)2SO4, KCl. The BD GeneOhm Staph SR Assay kit is composed of the following assay specific reagents, and utilizes the Smart Cycler 2 instrument to provide test results. Sample buffer Tris-EDTA buffer, Lysis tube Glass beads, Master mix < 0.0005 % DNA polymerase complex,< 0.001% Internal Control - non-infectious DNA containing MRSA-primer binding sequences and a unique sequence for probe hybridization, < 0.002 % primers < 0.002 % molecular beacon probes, < 0.05 % dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP, Bovine serum albumin, Carbohydrate, MgCL2, < 0.001 % non-infectious genomic Staphylococcus epidermidis genomic DNA (ATCC 14990) Control DNA Tris-EDTA buffer, Carbohydrate, < 0.001 % noninfectious genomic MRSA DNA (ATCC 43300), Diluent Tris-HCl buffer, MgCL2, (NH4)2SO4, KCl. This Sources Sought Notice is not a request for competitive proposals. It is not a solicitation or request for offers. No solicitation package is available. Vendors who wish to identify their interest and capability to provide Cdiff assay kits and Staph SR assay kits, compatible with the Smart Cycle 2 equipment, may notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, no later than 12:00 P.M. on December 14, 2010. Such notification must include a complete description of proposed assays, including narrative and capabilities described above.
