- Description
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), NIH intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the University of Maryland, Baltimore, NICHD Brain and Tissue Bank for Developmental Disorders, Baltimore, MD for 300 frontal cortex samples, 300 cerebellum samples and 8 brain regions from 56 samples including all shipping costs. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1). FAR 13.106-1 (2) (b). The cited authority is applicable because the University of Maryland, Baltimore is the only source that can fulfill the requirements of this contract. The University of Maryland Brain Bank is the only commercial or academic source specializing in collection of large numbers of brains derived from American neurologically normal individuals. These particular brain samples are not available anywhere else in the world. These brain samples are necessary for genetic experiments that will be performed in the Laboratory of Neurogenetics, NIA. Specifically we plan to genotype 550,000 SNPs on each brain sample using the Illumina 550K SNP chip system and to analyze the gene expression patterns within these brains. These experiments cannot take place without the brain starting material. This acquisition is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition procedures and is exempt from the requirements of FAR, Part 6, Competition Requirement. Award will be made on an all or none basis to the lowest priced, technically acceptable source.
