This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of all qualified sources to perform a potential requirement. 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: �The Intramural Research Program (IRP) in the National Institute on Aging (NIA) is comprised of seven scientific laboratories, the Translational Gerontology Branch, the Center for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias (CARD), and ten core facilities. The research program has three main focus areas: Neuroscience, Aging Biology and Translational Gerontology. IRP scientists conduct research in many different disciplines that range from basic science to clinical research and epidemiology. Medical problems, which typically affect older persons, are studied in depth using the tools of modern laboratory and clinical research, with a translational perspective. The central focus of our research is understanding age-related changes in physiology and the ability to adapt to environmental stress. The goal of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Immunology (LMBI) is to elucidate molecular mechanisms of processes that contribute to age-associated changes in physiology, including diseases whose prevalence increases with age. The Lab�s research has three interconnected themes: 1) molecular mechanisms of basic cellular processes, 2) immune cell function, and 3) translating basic mechanisms to clinical research. Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this procurement is the acquisition of 10X Genomics Chromium Cell Kits for the Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Immunology within the Intramural Research Program at NIA. Project requirements: The requested goods consist of the following 10X Genomics brand items: Chromium Next GEM Single Cell Multiome ATAC + Gene Expression Reagent Bundle, 16 rxns. Product Code 1000283. Quantity 12. Chromium Next GEM Chip J Single Cell Kit, 48 rxns. Product Code 1000234. Quantity 4. Dual Index Kit TT Set A 96 rxns. Product Code 1000215. Quantity 2. Single Index Kit N Set A, 96 rxn. Product Code 1000212. Quantity 2. Chromium X & Accessory Kit,12 Mo. Warranty. Product Code 1000331. Quantity 1. Shipping and handling Anticipated period of performance: One-time delivery. Number of days after receipt of order is TBD. Requested Response: The intent of this sources sought notice is to define the procurement strategy (e.g. set-aside, sole source, unrestricted) for a solicitation that is intended to be posted soon. Interested contractors are requested to respond by (1) identifying how their proposed product meets or exceeds the project requirements listed above; and (2) providing product literature, white papers, or capability statements that demonstrate their bona fide ability to supply such an item within the time frame described above. In addition, please state your business size status and whether you are the manufacturer or authorized distributor of the item you propose. Please note that NCATS is particularly interested in small business sources. If you are a small business, please state the type of small business (small business; HUBZone; service-disabled, veteran-owned; 8(a); veteran-owned; woman-owned; or small disadvantaged businesses) and your size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. The respondent must also provide their DUNS number, organization name, address, point of contact, and size and type of business (e.g., 8(a), HubZone, etc.), pursuant to the applicable NAICS code and any other information that may be helpful in developing or finalizing the acquisition requirements. The information submitted must be must be in an outline format that addresses each of the elements of the project requirements and in the capability statement /information sought paragraphs stated herein.� A cover page and an executive summary may be included but is not required.
