- Description
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, NC intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA 94547 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 one (1) each of the following: #1855096 CFX96 Real-Time PCR Detection System. The system will be used for PCR assays for measuring telomere lenghts. The assays use Tm-shifted primers that allow NIEHS to quantify telomere DNA relative to a single copy gene in a single tube SYBER assay at two temperatures. The specific design parameters of the system are as follows: 1) thermal gradient option of 24 degrees, 2) thermal block accuracy of 0.2 degrees with uniformity of 0.4 degrees within 10 seconds of reaching 90 degrees, 3) optical system for excitation and detection of up to 5 fluorescent types in a single well, 4) independent illumination and detection from each well using filtered LEDs for illumination and 6 filtered photodiodes for detection, 5) dedicated channel for FRET experiments, 6) 96 channel reads in 12 seconds, 7) linear dynamic range of 10 orders of magnitude, 8) detects single copy target sequence of genomic DNA, 9) detection of <+ 10 fmol of fluorescein, and 10) can be upgraded to 384 well format. Interested parties may 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 10 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 10 days of this notice to determine whether a qualified source is more advantageous to the Government, the order will be issued to Bio-Rad Laboratories. The NAICS Code/Size is 334516/500 Emp. This procurement is to be processed using Simplified Acquisition Procedures-Commercial Item Acquisition in conjunction with FAR Part 12 Commercial Item Acquisition of Commercial Items. There is no solicitation package available. For any questions regarding this announcement, please contact Dee Lunney via email lunney@niehs.nih.gov.*****
