- Description
- This is a COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in the notice and following the Simplified Acquisition Procedures in FAR Part 13.5 THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTES ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-5. The US Department of Interior, through its Franchise Fund activity, GovWorks, is issuing this solicitation, Number 0406RQ60113 as a Request for Quote (RFQ) on behalf of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Laboratory of Population Genetics (LPG). This project involves Assay Development, Assay Quality Control, and Genotyping Clinical Samples to accommodate existing and future genotyping requirements for various studies. This project will support the NCI LPG which is engaged in a number of studies involving correlation of genotype variations in candidate genes in pathways related to cancer susceptibility, disease, and/or response to treatment. The Government requires the determination of genotypes from DNA isolated from a variety of clinical samples. These genotypes must be determined using a highly accurate state of the art technology that requires a minimum amount of DNA sample. This technology must be a proven technology with references of successful (at least 95% efficiency rate) large-scale projects (more than 1000 samples processed per project) in a peer-reviewed journal. Key aspects of any large-scale genotyping study are the quality and quantity of DNA required to obtain accurate, reliable, and complete results. The genotyping assay(s) must be robust over a range of DNA concentrations and quality. In prior experience, some specific marker assays require different genotyping technologies from others to achieve the required accuracy. For these studies, it is required that the assay(s) be able to generate accurate data from 3 nanograms or less of DNA per assay and have a proven reliability for large scale genotyping studies. The Government is interested in assays with the ability to multiplex at the reaction level to further minimize the required amount of sample DNA, and interested in proven technologies involving Whole Genome Amplification. The Government also requires the data be reported in an electronic file format and have a reportable quality parameter associated with each genotype call.
