Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The anticipated award date June 30, 2014.

The National Institutes of Health, Office of the Director, Office of Logistics and Acquisitions Operations, on the behalf of the National Institutes Deafness Communication Disorders, intends to procure on a sole source basis from Life Technologies Corporation, a Big Dye Terminator V3.1 RR-5000 & Sequencing Buffer-Qty of 1. This reagent is critical to the NIDCD ongoing research programs. The ABI Big Dye Terminator chemistry is the only commercial enzyme currently available which provides an extremely high degree of accuracy while also furnishing longer reads of 800-1000 bases per reaction. The quantity of reactions is needed due to the high volume of sequencing done in the lab in addition to providing NIDCD a lower cost per reaction by buying in this quantity. Employing other chemistry would result in shorter reads, a greater cost to the institute due to a need to utilize several more reactions for each project utlimately greater personnel costs. The supplies reagents must be compatible with the laboratory equipment currently being used in the laboratory. This is a fixed-price.
