- Description
- This contract action was accomplished using other than competitive procedures because there is only one responsible source due to a unique capability provided, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements (FAR 6.302-1). See posted J&A for further information. The U.S. Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Natick Contracting Division, Kansas Street, Natick, MA on behalf of the Joint Project Manager - Medical Countermeasure Systems (JPM-MCS), awarded a sole source to the contractor Illumina, Inc., of San Diego, California for the purchase of One (1) TruSeq Stranded Total RNA HT (With Ribo-Zero Globin) Reagent Kit for use with current MiSeq Analyzers in support of the Global Biosurveillance Technology Initiative (GBTI) Program, a commercial supply for which the Government solicited to only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), as agency's minimum needs can only be satisfied by unique supplies or services available from only one source or only one supplier with unique capabilities. Illumina, Inc. is the owner of the intellectual property (IP) and sole producer of these specific reagent kits which includes the high-throughput Stranded total RNA sample preparation kit for Ninety-Six (96) Samples. This kit is designed by Illumina and includes all the controls and reaction chemicals specifically formulated to prepare samples for RNA sequencing on Illumina analyzers including the MiSeq. RNA sample preparation kits made by other vendors will not adequately prepare the RNA for analysis by the MiSeq Analyzer. (Each library preparation kit makes use of its own proprietary chemistry, involving specialized adaptors and ligation and amplification steps). No other company could provide this requirement without substantial duplication of cost to the Government which is not expected to be recovered through competition. Illumina, Inc. is a registered in the System for Award Management as an Other Than Small Business under NAICS 334513, the size standard for which is 500.
