- INTRODUCTION THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NON-COMPETITIVE (NOTICE OF INTENT) SYNOPSIS TO AWARD A CONTRACT WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME). The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Office of Acquisition (OA) the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), intends to negotiate and award a purchase order without providing for full and open competition (including brand-name) to Horizon Discovery 2650 Crescent Drive #100, Lafayette, CO 80026 for acquisition of a custom Cherry-picked siRNA library for the Functional Genomics Lab. NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE and SET ASIDE STATUS The intended procurement is classified under NAICS 325414 Biological Product (except Diagnostic) Manufacturing with a Size Standard of 1250. � 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.

The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2022-08 dated October 22, 2022. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this procurement is the acquisition of a custom Cherry-picked siRNA library for the Functional Genomics Lab Purchase Description: Horizon will generate a custom Cherry-picked siRNA library and place this library in 5 plates. All specific cherry-picked gene targets will be provided by the customer. The National Institutes of Health has established an RNAi facility to provide intramural researchers with access to the equipment and expertise necessary to conduct genome-wide RNAi screens in mammalian cells. This facility works as a collaborative resource for RNAi assay development, screening, and initial follow-up. Our facility works with investigators to develop and optimize their assays for screening, conduct the screens and related informatics analyses, then performs follow-up screens on promising leads. Further work is done with the PI to do the downstream biology required to get the quality publications and the kind of groundbreaking results needed. This request is required for this facility to develop a flexible, functional genomics platform that offers complementary and orthogonal siRNA screens to NIH intramural investigators. Horizon provides several predesigned RNAi screening libraries which allow us to effectively conduct RNAi screenings.� Horizon will produce custom cherry-picked siRNA libraries from a provided group of siRNAs. This item is needed to facilitate our RNAi screening program. This program is to provide intramural researchers with access to the equipment and expertise necessary to conduct genome-wide RNAi screens in mammalian cells. This facility will work as a collaborative resource for doing RNAi assay development, screening, and initial follow-up. � The essential characteristics of the the LP_157266_Natasha_Project, ON-TARGET plus 0.1 nmol, 1420 wells, 5 plates, plate type 384, Horizontal. ESTIMATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: Period of performance is two weeks ARO CONTRACTING WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME) DETERMINATION The determination by the Government to award a contract without providing for full and open competition is based upon the market research conducted. Specifically, Horizon Discovery 2650 Crescent Drive #100, Lafayette, CO 80026 is the only vendor in the marketplace that can provide the services required by NIDA .
