- Solicitation Document Solicitation Number: NHLBI-PB(HG)-2009-218 Title: RECOVERY – Illumina, Inc., Brand Laboratory Instruments & Reagents and Covaris, Inc., Brand Laboratory Instruments This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is NHLBI-PB(HG)-2009-218 and the solicitation is issued as a request for proposal (RFP). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-33. This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13 – Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.5 —Test Program for Certain Commercial Items and FAR Part 12—Acquisition of Commercial Items. There are no set-aside restrictions for this requirement. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System code 334516 – Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a size standard of 500 employees. Market research conducted by the Government through the issuance of a sources sought small business synopsis posted in the FedBizOpps on June 26, 2009, has determined that there is no reasonable expectation of receiving two (2) or more offers from small business third-party resellers that are capable of providing the equipment listed herein of a large business manufacturer. Therefore, the acquisition is being conducted on an unrestricted basis with no set-aside restrictions. This requirement is for the acquisition of brand name only laboratory instruments and reagents manufactured by Illumina, Inc., 9885 Towne Centre Drive, San Diego, CA 92121-1975, a large business and laboratory instruments manufactured by Covaris, Inc., 14 Gill Street, Unit H, Woburn, MA, a small business. The Government’s minimum requirements for the Illumina and Covaris instruments are: (1) Integrated system that is capable of both array-based assays and next-generation sequencing; (2) Compatibility with existing equipment; (3) Cost effective when compared to stand-alone next-generation sequencing equipment; (4) Generation of large amounts of high quality sequencing data; (5) Variety of applications possible; and (6) Flexibility of sample sizes within a run. These minimum requirements are necessary for the laboratory’s ability to continue array-based genotyping while adding the ability to do next-generation sequencing for the follow-up of genomic regions of interest detected via array-based genome-wide association studies. The Illumina brand instruments and reagents, and the Covaris brand instruments were selected for this requirement because their instruments met the Government’s minimum requirements. An example of how the instruments met the Government’s minimum requirements such as the special features of the Illumina iScan Sequencing Module and Cluster Station: 300Mb of data per day, up to 3Gb per flow cell, Range of read lengths possible (25bp – 2x50bp), Multiple applications from a single system: small genome sequencing, targeted re-sequencing, ChIP-SEQ, mRNA-SEQ, small RNA sequencing, Paired-end and single read capable, Ability to multiplex 1-12 samples per lane (8-96 samples per flow cell), Integration of array-based assays and next-generation sequencing into one platform, and compatibility with an existing iScan which will reduced hardware cost versus a stand-alone next-generation sequencing only instrument. These features are not provided by comparable items from the other firms researched. The other companies’ similar products, lacked the particular features, do not meet, and cannot be modified to meet, the Government’s minimum requirements. Therefore, because only the Illumina and Covaris instruments can satisfy this requirement.
