- Description
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with BioServe Biotechnologies, Laurel, MD 20702, pursuant to 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1)--Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This procurement is for continuous services for DNA Sequencing and Genotyping as follows: 688 CalMex DNAs, quantitation, concentration of 390 samples, measuring volumes of 390, normalization of 390 samples, aliquotting, sequencing region 1, SNP analysis on ~ 21 SNPs. This procurement will provide for continuation of research studies previously awarded under a NIEHS contract. BioServe is currently in the process of analyzing samples provided under the previous contract and this procurement will allow for BioServe to complete the sequencing and genotyping of their samples. For scientific continuity, NIEHS has a strong programmatic need to continue the work with BioServe to maintain the essential scientific comparability of the data. To introduce another company would be detrimental to this research work. This project will complete the protocol currently underway under this contract. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability. Respond to this requirement by submitting written capabilities/specifications to the Contracting Specialist at the address stated above. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received within 5 days from the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 5 days of this notice to determine whether a qualified source is more advantageous to the Government, an order will be placed with Bioserve Biotechnologies. The NAICS Code/Size is 541690/$6.5M. This procurement is to be processed using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in conjunction with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items and is not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition threshold of $100,000. There is no solicitation package available. For any questions regarding this announcement, please contact Dee Lunney via email lunney@niehs.nih.gov.*****
