- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, NC intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA 92121 pursuant to 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1)--Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This request is for the following sequencing services: 1) RS-101-1004 DGE: sRNA (2M tags) Sample prep prepared by customer. Small RNA expression profiling dataset of CSMA signature tags of 33nt in length resulting in at least 2 million tags of sequence per sample, 6 samples, and 2) DS-101-1001 SEQ (250 Mb) Sample prep prepared by Illumina. Re-sequencing dataset of CSMA signature tags of 33nt length resulting in at least 250 Mega bases of sequence per sample, 6 samples. The sequencing services offer extremely high throughput: at least 2 million sequences can be obtained in a single run, a run takes only a few days to complete, allows sequencing of multiple individual sequences from a heterogeneous mixture of starting material, and the Illumina technology requires on 10-20 ng of DNA for each analysis. 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.
