Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a fixed priced purchase order on a sole source basis to Metabolon, Inc., Morrisville, North Carolina, 27560, UEI: SBY5A7EK9PU3 �for testing services needed to support a clinical research study. Metabolon offers microbiome-targeted and global assay testing not performed in the Clinical Center Department of Laboratory Medicine (DLM) laboratory. The primary objective of the study is to examine associations between diet and the gut microbiome. A secondary objective is examining the associations between the gut microbiome and changes in metabolites. The proposed vendor, Metabolon, Inc., specializes in the bioanalysis and data interpretation of metabolomics for the mechanistic understanding of biomarkers at a cellular level. Metabolon sets itself apart with superior analytical and bioinformatics technologies, which together produce high-quality data via a high-throughput workflow. Metabolon proprietary bioinformatics technology rapidly sorts through massive amounts of biochemical data, extracting only the significant information. These technologies, combined with rigorous QC processes, allow for the most comprehensive, high quality, and accurate metabolomics data to be rapidly transformed into knowledge that scientists can immediately put into action; a technology Metabolon calls, Precision Metabolomics�. It is critical to put DLM study results into context, to compare the new testing data� to the existing results from similar clinical trials that performed testing at Metabolon. Metabolon Inc. has unique qualifications in that it is the only company that offers Bile acids, and Short Chain Fatty Acids, and untargeted metabolomics on the combination of specimens for the study including stool and urine and plasma. Metabolon has also been cited in numerous publications within the research field that will allow DLM to make data comparisons during data analysis and interpretation. This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of the FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(i), 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.
