Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under NAICS code 541380 should not submit a response to this notice. This notice is issued to help determine the availability of qualified companies technically capable of meeting the Government requirement and to determine the method of acquisition.� It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract.� Responses will not be considered as proposals or quotes.� No award will be made as a result of this notice.� The Government will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by the respondents to this notice.� This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only. Background and Objectives: � Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from healthy aged and dementia patients will be differentiated into microglia and neurons for the purposes of identification of genetic variants controlling cell populations and gene expression in distinct cell types. Future experiments will focus on manipulating variants to provide direct, experimental evidence for variant/gene/cell relationships. To accomplish this goal with a large cohort of iPSCs, we have obtained an automated cell culture system that requires connecting and disconnecting tubing in a sterile and closed environment to maintain the integrity of the media, cells, and system. Project Requirements: The Laboratory of Neurogenetics (LNG) needs to obtain tubing sealers, welders, and associated accessories. Data generated from these reagents will lead to an understanding of DNA genetic variants that control cell populations and gene expression to better understand Parkinson�s disease and other dementias. Anticipated Delivery schedule:� One (1) week after receipt of order (ARO). Capability Statement: Small business concerns that believe they possess the ability to provide the requirement should submit documentation of their ability to meet each of the project requirements to the Contracting O?icer.
