- Description
- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. It is the intent of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) for the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), to negotiate/award a purchase order to Illumina, Inc. to provide an Illumina- HumanOmni1-Quad v1.0 DNA Analysis Kit (48). Each HumanOmni1-Quad v1.0 DNA Analysis Bead Chip can process twelve samples and analyze >700,000 loci. Each package contains four Bead Chips, along with reagents for amplifying, fragmenting, hybridizing, labeling and detecting 48 DNA samples. Each BeadChip features over one million available assays per sample, containing carefully selected markers that deliver dense genome-wide coverage. Intelligent tag SNP selection has been optimized to maintain comprehensive genomic coverage, while reducing tag SNP redundancy. This has enabled the inclusion of additional content carefully chosen to target high-value regions of the genome associated with human disease. This newly designed chip permits processing of 12 patients per chip and allows SNP based genotyping. SNP based genotyping to identify a disease gene is a specialized technology requiring specific instrumentation and expertise. NHGRI has access to Illumina Instrumentation and the expertise in this technology through NHGRI collaborators. The analysis bead cheap to be purchased will be used in conjunction with previously purchased software. This software is used to conduct the analysis of data. NHGRI has customized a computer to run the program using this software and the bead chip. Additionally, NHGRI has also written programs for the analysis and presentation of the output. Offerings from other manufacturers are not compatible with the existing setup. As such it would not be technically practical or cost efficient to move to a new system. This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and is exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6, Competition Requirements. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 334516 and the Size Standard is 500 Employees. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Comments to this announcement, referencing synopsis number NHLBI-PB-HG-2010-147-RSF may be submitted by mail to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, Office of Acquisitions, Procurement Branch, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Suite 6151, Bethesda, MD 20892-7902, Attention: Rashida Ferebee, by fax transmission to (301) 480-3345 or by email to ferebeers@nhlbi.nih.gov This action is under the authority of 41.U.S.C.253(c)(1), as set forth in FAR 13.106(b)(2), and HHSAR 306-302-1. Interested parties responding to this announcement need to do so by 9:00am Eastern Standard Time on April 27, 2010.
