- Description
- The National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Texas Institute for Genomic Medicine. This is neither a solicitation announcement nor a request for quotations or proposals and does not obligate the Government to award a contract. Requests for solicitation will not receive a response. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Texas Institute for the purchase of non-standardized knock-out mice commonly used to study the function of synapse development and maintenance in neurite outgrowth. The project involves the identification, characterization, and localization of glutamate receptors and associated proteins, which include the protein that has been deleted in the mutant mouse line. The Laboratory of Neurochemistry requires the acquistion of the mutant mouse line to continue the study and publication of this research project within their laboratory. These mutant mice can only be purchased from Texas Institute of Genomic Medicine who owns exclusive rights for this mutant mouse line. Any firm that believes it can meet these requirements may give written notification. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the abillity to comply with the above requirements. All information submitted in response to this announcement must be received by September 8, 2008, 12:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. This information can be faxed or emailed to Ms. Van Holley.
