Description

Sole Source Justification The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to issue a firm-fixed Price purchase order on a sole source basis to BioInformatics and Genomics Laboratory (BGL) at the University of Texas (UTMB), 301 University Blvd, Galveston TX 77555 for highly specific primers/probes for "host-blind" detection and indetification of Yersinia species in the presence of several mammalian backgroud organisms including human and rodents in addition to being distant from various bacteria, viruses, fungi, and insects. It is the Government's belief that only one responsible source exists and no other product or services will satisfy agency requirements. The computation approach implemented by BGL-UTMB uses proprietary applications to efficiently and accurately compute the frequency of all subsequences (n-mers)of varying lengths (6-22 nucleotides) in the sequenced genome while excluding all subsequences also present in selected host/background genomes within hours. The following requirement is for the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Disease (NCEZID), Division of of Vector Borne Diseases (DVBD). THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN SUBPART 12.6, AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTES ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. The solicitation is issed as RFQ # 2013-Q-62253. NAICS Code: 541711 Standard Business Size: 500 Employees Determination not to compete this proposed action based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
