Description
The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Cancer Center Research (CCR), Genomics Core Branch (GCB) plans to procure on a sole source basis for a BigDye Terminator v1.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit manufactured by Life Technologies Corporation, 3175 Stanley Road, Grand Island, New York 14072. This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures as stated in FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1). Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. The North American Industry Classification System code is 325413 and the business size standard is 500. Period of performance delivery is within 1 - 2 weeks from date of award. It has been determined that there is no opportunity to acquire green products or services under this contract. The Purpose of this acquisition is to procure The BigDye® Terminator v1.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit. This kit will be used to perform Sanger Sequencing in the CCR Genomics Core on government-owned ABI 3130xL (NIH # 01939017 & 01963827) and ABI 3730xL (NIH # 01939405) Genetic Analyzers. The use of the BigDye® Terminator v1.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit by the CCR Genomics Core is critical to the ongoing research and experiments. The CCR Genomics Core has over 700 registered users who are currently performing quality research with the provided reagents processing over 30,000 Sanger Sequencing samples per month. Any change to the kit currently in use will result in additional variables in all experiments and may require the acquisition of replacement equipment in the millions of dollars. The BigDye® Terminator v1.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit has been used in the Core and will continue to be used by NCI as well as several other NIH Institutes. The BigDye® Terminator v1.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit manufactured by Life Technology is compatible with existing NCI ABI genetic analyzers. The kit's chemistry allows NCI to generate data with uniform peak heights and optimized signal balance-which results in longer, higher-quality reads. The BigDye® Terminator v.1.1 kit's chemistry is compatible with current software and the current instrumentation does not require recalibration. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested parties, especially small businesses, believe they can meet the above requirement, they may submit a statement of capabilities. All information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient detail to allow the NCI to determine if it can meet the above unique specifications described herein. A copy of the capability statement must be received in the NCI Office of Acquisition on or before 11:00 AM EST on April 30, 2016. All questions must be in writing and can be faxed (240) 276-5401 or emailed to Kathy Elliott, Contract Specialist at Elliottk@mail.nih.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to receive an award, contractors must have valid registration and certification on Sam.gov, www.sam.gov. No collect calls will be accepted. Please reference solicitation number N02RC62559-61 all correspondence.
