- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Center for Plant Health Science and Technology (CPHST) facility located in Beltsville, MD intends to add sole source items, to a previously established 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) #AG-6395-B-13-0003 awarded to Qiagen, Inc. located in Valencia, CA. (See FBO Special Notice PR591779.) The specific molecular reagents and related supplies will be added to the BPA under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1). The molecular reagents and related supplies (listed below) will be used by the CPHST laboratory to maintain established Agency testing protocols for use in the National Plant Germplasm Quarantine system. Agency testing protocols have been validated using Qiagen molecular reagents and related supplies, and alternative brand supplies are not permissible for standardized protocols. Failure of our protocols in Plant Protection and Quarantine emergency and domestic programs could result in the release, introduction, or spread of regulated plant pathogens and select agent plant pathogens, and result in liability for the Agency due to those failures. Specific items to be included on the BPA are as follows: Catalog# Product 69104 DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (50) 69106 DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (250) 69504 DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (50) 74904 RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (50) 12123 QIAGEN Plasmid Mini Kit (25) 28604 MinElute Gel Extraction Kit (50) 19101 RNase A (17500 U) 129114 Nuclease-Free Water (10 x 50 ml) 28704 QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (50) 28104 QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (50) 27104 QIAprep Spin Miniprep Kit (50) 51504 QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit (50) 80004 AllPrep DNA/RNA/Protein Mini Kit (50) 210212 QIAGEN OneStep RT-PCR Kit (100) The additional items will increase the total BPA value from $145,000.00 to a not-to-exceed total of $300,000.00 over 5 years ($60,000.00/year).
