- Description
- QIAGEN Sole Source Justification The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to award a firm fixed-price, indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity, with a base year and four (4) 1-year option periods, on a sole-source basis to QIAGEN, Inc., 27220 Turnberry Lane, Valencia, CA 91355, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. QIAGEN is the only company that can provide the requested reagents and consumables for casework processing. These reagents are specially designed chemical mixes which are used in a highly sensitive robotic instrument to cause a desired reaction for a specific result. QIAGEN is the only company that is approved to supply the chemistry and instruments required for high-throughput extraction of questioned and known specimens in the FBI's DNA Casework Unit (DCU). Only QIAGEN chemistry and instruments has been validated for use with questioned samples (which frequently have low levels of cellular material) and known samples. These reagents and consumables include, (but are not limited to), the following: EZ1 DNA Investigator Kit, QIAsymphony DNA Investigator Kit, MinElute PCR Purification Kit, Sample Prep Cartridges, QIAamp 96 DNA Blood Kit. The reagents and consumables from QIAGEN underwent an extensive developmental validation. The validation studies were done as mandated by the Quality Assurance Standards for Forensic DNA Testing Laboratories as established by the FBI Director in September 2011. The Laboratory Division is unable to use any other reagents or consumables as QIAGEN is the only supplier currently of FBI validated kits. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, interested parties are advised that no solicitation document is available for this requirement and may identify their interest and capacity by submitting a capabilities statement by 4:00pm EST, September 12, 2014. The capability statement must reference solicitation number DJF-14-0700-P-0010103. The capability statement should be emailed to the Contracting Officer at Lynda.Theisen@ic.fbi.gov or submitted by fax to 703-632-8480. The Government will not pay for any information received.
