- Description
- ***NOAA's Acquisition & Grants Office, Western Acquisition Division-Boulder, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with PSSC Labs of Lake Forest, California, for the purchase of the PowerWulfBeoWulf server cluster. ***The sole source determination is based on the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) requirement for genomic markers that can be associated with select broodstocks that have desired traits such as fast growing and disease resistance. These markers will include microsatellites and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). PowerWulfBeoWulf has developed a computer cluster that has a large number of cores available for processing Blast and a large amount of RAM/node to house the genome databases locally within individual nodes. Further, the output from these comparisons is itself large and requires a dedicated RAID system for storage and automatic backup. The delivery date shall be no later than September 30, 2011. ***This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available. However, firms that believe they can provide equipment that fully meets the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Such documentation will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive procurement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
