This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are not being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number for this acquisition is NOI 5072 and the solicitation is being issued as a notice of intent. This solicitation document and its incorporated provisions are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2005-03. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intends to procure on a sole-source basis using simplified acquisition procedures with Affymetrix, Inc for 24, 2-Cycle Target Labeling and Control Reagent kits. The purpose of this contract is to provide micro-array kits, supplies, and reagents necessary for conducting experiments in the identification of genes associated with Hepatitis virus in the laboratory. To the best of the Government?s knowledge, the GeneChip 2-cycle Target Labeling and Control Reagent is manufactured by Invitrogen Corporation exclusively for Affymetrix, Inc., and is the only known micro-array kit used in the Gene Chip Instrument System currently owned and operated by the division. The kit contains all essential labeling and control reagents for target preparation from 10 to100ng of total RNA, and is streamlined and optimized for use in the GeneChip Instrument system. Micro-array analysis of animal tissue using these reagents will aid in continuing ongoing research in the basic understanding of the etiology, pathogenesis, and prevention of viral Hepatitis and other diseases currently being performed in the laboratory. Due to optimization standards obtained with continuous use of these products in micro-array projects, it is essential that data obtained in future analyses be compared to past results using the same protocol standards under project number Z01-A100570.
