- Description
- 1. Program Office: NHGRI/NCGC 2. Project Officer: 3. Project Information: Title: Beckman Coulter SPRIworks Fragment Library System Period of Performance: Requisition No. Proposed Contractor: Beckman Coulter 4. Description of what is to be acquired and the Benefit received by the Government: Beckman Coulter’s SPRIworks Fragment Library System I is a fully automated system for the preparation of library samples for the Illumina Genome Analyzer. The SPRIworks Fragment Library System method has three components: SPRI-TE Nucleic Acid Extractor instrument, method card that controls liquid handling, and a sealed cartridge prefilled with all the reagents required to prepare a single library. In addition to the necessary enzymes and buffers for the preparation of a library, the cartridge reagents include an optimized size selection capability based on SPRI chemistry. SPRI is an acronym for Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization and are covered under US Patents 5,705,628, 5,898,071 and 6,534,262. SPRI chemistry is a novel chemistry in which nucleic acids are immobilized around the surface of the particles by controlling environmental reaction conditions such as pH, salts concentration and hydophobicity and hydrophilicity. NISC (NIH Intramural Sequencing Center) is a centralized research facility for performing high-throughput, large-scale DNA sequencing and sequencing analysis. The Beckman SPRIworks Fragment Library System I would enable NISC to reduce the extensive manual labor required in library preparation for the Illumina Genome Analyzers so the personnel can focus on other preparation work. This equipment will reduce cost in additional personnel, reduce errors from manual processing since the machine is fully automated and the 5. Independent Government Estimate: N/A 6. Specific, detailed explanation of why it is not feasible to obtain full and open competition. Sole Source Justification. Beckman Coulter is the sole manufacturer. There is no other company that has this type of equipment for library sample preparation or can provide the reagents for this machine. 7. Statutory Authority. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1. (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 (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or industrial mobilization). No other requirement and/or type for supply or service will satisfy agency need.
