The associated North American Industry Classification system (NAICS) for this procurement is 325998 and the size standard is 500 employees. SCHEDULE: The Rocky Mountain Laboratories, Laboratory of Human Bacterial Pathogenesis (LHBP) has a requirement for peptide libraries consisting of 19-amino acid, biotin-labeled peptides. The LHBP has identified, through genome-scale approaches, a large number of proteins involved in the pathogenesis of infections caused by Group A Streptococcus (GAS). These peptides will be used to identify specific regions of these proteins recognized by the host immune system with the long-term goal of identifying GAS vaccine candidates. We anticipate the need to order an average of approximately 700 peptides per month for a period of 12 months. It is mandatory that the peptide libraries purchased have the following features: 1) The individual peptides must be synthesized using multiple parallel synthesis on polyethylene pins in 8 x 12 96-sample blocks using multi-pin solid phase peptide synthesis technology to minimize costs and turn around time. 2) The resultant peptides must be biotinylated at the aminoterminus and must be synthesized with a 4-residue (S-G-S-G) spacer arm. The synthesis technology must allow the peptides to be cleaved after synthesis on pins, synthesized in 1-5 mmol quantities, and supplied in the final form as lyophilized powder. In addition, Mass Spectral Analysis must be performed on selected peptides as part of the quality control process. 3) The company that will supply the peptide libraries must have the capability to synthesize and supply the peptide libraries within 4-5 weeks of the placement of the order. FOB Point shall be Destination, Hamilton, MT. Inside delivery shall be no more than 30 days after receipt of order (ARO).
