- Description
- Maize Genotyping Project The USDA ARS Plant Introduction Facility (USDA-PI) in Ames, IA, intends to award procurement of services to include DNA extraction and preparation, testing, enzyme optimization, library plate preparation, library sequencing of 48-plex samples (with coverage of 4-6x) and raw data preparation in conjunction with the Cornell Genomic Diversity Facility working with the maize GBS data outputs compatible with Dr. Edward Buckler's laboratory TASSEL-GBS informatics pipeline of ~60K maize genotypes for running against SNP calling. This testing procurement will be conducted in accordance with the procedures in FAR Part 13.106 and 6.303-2. The purchase determination is based on the information that no other entity offers the library of ~60k maize genotypes necessary for comparison and compatibility with the DNA extraction and subsequent sequencing requirements for ongoing research. The cost has been determined fair and reasonable based on current technical knowledge of fair market value. The anticipated purchase order value is $26880.00. This is not a request for quotation. However, all interested parties may contact the Contract Specialist listed below. Sources interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can obtain/provide the nursery space, supplies and labor required for this project. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to lara.j.hicok@aphis.usda.gov. The deadline for the submittal of responses is 12:00 pm central time, July 31, 2015.
