- Description
- THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE/PROPOSALS. The NINDS Contracts Management Section of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), intends to solicit on a sole-source basis by a request for quotation to 10x Genomics Inc. on or around May 3, 2018 with an award issued on or around May 11, 2018. The purpose of the resultant purchase order will be to provide the Spinal Circuits and Plasticity Unit of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) with a dedicated 10x Genomics Chromium Single Cell/Nucleus Encapsulation and Barcoding System to continue research that has utilized this identical system at the National Institutes of Health main campus in Bethesda, MD. This particular 10x Genomics Inc. system is needed in order to maintain the scientific integrity of previously generated research data, which has utilized this same equipment. NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE and SET ASIDE STATUS The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 334516, "Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing" with a Size Standard of 1,000 employees or fewer. This acquisition is NOT set aside for small businesses, but rather is a sole-source acquisition to 10x Genomics Inc.. REGULATORY AUTHORITY This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Contracts awarded using FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures are exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6-Competition Requirements. FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b) Soliciting from a single source provides that: For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source IF the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name OR industrial mobilization). BACKGROUND, PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF REQUIREMENT The mission of the Spinal Circuits and Plasticity Unit is to reveal the molecular, cellular, and circuit basis of plasticity within the spinal cord. As part of that mission the Unit recently completed a study to sequence the RNA from hundreds to low thousands of spinal cord nuclei and use bio-informatic analysis of this data to classify each nucleus and identify the constituent populations of the spinal cord. The Unit now plans to apply this technology to study spinal cord injury and must use a highly reliable set-up for isolating several thousand of single nuclei per sample. The Unit has performed two experiments using the 10X Chromium system (borrowed from the NIDCD core facility) and obtained excellent quality data. To continue this work, the Unit needs to procure its own system (instrument and consummables for 20 samples) for massively parallel single nucleus transcriptional profiling. CONTRACTING WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME) DETERMINATION Research to be perfomed by the Spinal Circuits and Plasticity Unit utilizing this equipment will be follow-on research to previous and on-going research projects which utilized a 10X Genomics Chromium system (housed in a separate building on the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD). In order to maintain the integrity of the research data generated, any follow-on research must use the identical equipment previously utilized for the earlier related research projects. For this reason, this procurement is limited to the Brand Name items in the Product Description below: Product Description: BRAND NAME REQUIREMENT 10X Genomics, Inc. ITEM 10x Genomics CATALOG # 1)Chromium i7 multiplex kit, 96 rxns 120262 2)Chromium Single Cell 3' Library and Gel Bead Kit v2, 4 rxns 120267 3)Chromium Single Cell 3' Library and Gel Bead Kit v2, 16 rxns 120237 4)Chromium Single Cell A Chip kit, 16 rxns 1000009 5)Chromium Single Cell A Chip kit, 48 rxns 120236 6)Chromium Single Cell Controller and Accessory Kit, 12 month warranty 120263 The intended source is: 10x Genomics, Inc. 7068 Koll Center Pkwy Ste 401 Pleasanton, CA 94566-3111 CLOSING STATEMENT THIS SYNOPSIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice. 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. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. The information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to proceed on a non-competitive basis or to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses to this notice shall contain sufficient information to establish the interested parties' bona-fide capabilities for fulfilling the requirement and include: unit price, list price, shipping and handling costs, the delivery period after contract award, the prompt payment discount terms, the F.O.B. Point (Destination or Origin), the Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS), the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and the certification of business size. All offerors must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) www.sam.gov. All responses must provide evidence that they can provide this equipment and that they are an authorized re-seller of this particular 10x Genomics, Inc. equipment. All responses must be received by the closing date and time of this announcement and must reference the solicitation number, NIH-NINDS-NOI-18-4915504. Responses must be submitted electronically to Jason Williams, Contracting Officer, at willjas@mail.nih.gov. U.S. Mail and Fax responses will not be accepted.
