- Description
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research (CCR), plans to procure on a sole source basis, gene expression: 1) amplification of RNA, probe synthesis, hybridization to CodeLink microarrays and data analysis with GenUs Biosystems, Inc. 1808 Janke Drive Northbrook, IL 60062. This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 12, Acquisition for Commercial Items and will be made pursuant to the authority in FAR 13.5 to use simplified procedures for commercial acquisitions. The North American Industry Classification System Code is 541380 and the business size standard is $11M. The purpose of this requirement is to provide full service gene expression analysis using the CodeLink technology which shall include amplification of the RNA as provided by the NCI, probe synthesis, hybridization to CodeLink miocroarrays, scanning of the microarrays and data analysis. GenUs Biosystems, Inc, is the only source known to the NCI that can provide gene expression analysis using the CodeLink technology and GeneSpring software. In order to be able to expand and complete the ongoing research using these treatments, the micro-array analysis must be compatible with previous experiments. In addition, GenUS Biosystems, Inc, is the only accredited, certified commercial provider of the General Electric (GE) CodeLink bioarray services. Changing variables at this time will be detrimental to current gene expression analysis being performed in the NCI laboratory. This is not a request for competitive quotation.
