- Description
- The United States Army Medical Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to the University of Wisconsin (UW) for services to obtain major histocompatability (MHC) class I and/or DRB allele data generated from next-generation sequencing platforms using UW's existing pipeline and MHC class I DRB allele data for macaque monkeys and African green monkeys. This contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.5, 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), and FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source. The determination is made based on the fact that the University of Wisconsin, AIDS Vaccine Research Lab is the sole commercial vendor capable of providing analysis of non-human primate MHC alleles and genotypes, as they are the sole developers of non-human primate MHC class I and class II databases for macaques and African green monkeys and have developed and designed protocols and an analysis pipeline for these alleles. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotation; however, all responses received within seven days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no written responses are received at least seven (7) days after the publication of this response, the purchase will be awarded without further notice.
