No Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) rating assigned. SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION Agilent is the only company whose microarrays are manufactured with specific controls that are recognized by the Feature Extraction software used to analyze the images. The loss of these controls will compromise the analysis. The Agilent microarrays have specific control features that are recognized by National Ocean Service?s instrumentation which allows maximum data mining and quality assurance. NOS scientists have 2 years of data processed with these products and the cost to migrate similar products would cost approximately twice as much as the Agilent consumables. See Numbered Note 22.
