- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), located on the National Naval Medical Campus (NNMC) in Bethesda, MD, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Epigenome Center to run a methylation microarray on the illumina platform for 84 samples. The awarded contract will be a onetime purchase. All results will be delivered as a file in typical format to USU. This order is being procured in accordance with FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) and FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures). Sole source determination is made in accordance with: FAR Part 13.106-1 Soliciting Competition (b) Soliciting from a single source (1) For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. Epigenome Center is already streamlined and validated for quality by an investigator in order to get this type of quality assurance from another lab would requir an excessive amount of time which will not fit in with grant timelines. The Epigenome Center at USC is the only lab which is currently running this new Ilumina assay, the Infinium assay, as a service to researchers. This is not a request for quotes and a solicitation package will not be issued. Sources interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can provide the abovementioned requirement as specified. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contractual action based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the government. Responses must be received via email ( james.lindsey.ctr@usuhs.mil ) by close of business on June 29, 2010.
