- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Genome Scale Measurements Group (GSMG) is working to develop and characterize whole human genome reference materials in conjunction with the Genome in a Bottle Consortium (GiAB). Measurements are being made on multiple Next Generation Sequencing platforms. The current phase of measurements requires sequencing orthogonal to NIST's past fluorescence based methods and is capable of producing long reads, where 50% of the bases come from reads greater than 20,000 in length. SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION: Currently Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Inc. located at 1 Kendal Sq. Bldg. 200 Ste B2005, Cambridge, MA 02139 (ONT) is the only technology capable of non-fluorescence based long read DNA measurements. The reagents/consumables for the ONT instruments have been determined to be proprietary to ONT and there are no authorized resellers. Only ONT can provide the reagents/components which are compatible with the proprietary MinION system, a necessary requirement. As such, NIST intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with ONT to purchase ONT reagents/consumables. The specific items to be procured are set forth below: Part Number Description FLO-MIN107 ONT SpotOn Flow Cell Mk I (R9.5) SQK-RAD002 ONT Rapid Sequencing Kit SQK-LSK108 ONT Ligation Sequenicng Kit 1D SQK-LSK308 ONT 1D2 Sequencing Kit The resulting purchase order will be firm fixed-price. The NAICS Code is 325998 - All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing with a size standard of 500 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 11:00 am EST June 17, 2017, will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
