- Description
- This Presolicitation Notice is to announce that the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is proposing to negotiate a contract with Southern Illinois University, Dr. Ed Heist, on a sole-source basis, for Microsatellite Genotyping at 19 Loci. The USGS has concluded that these services are unique and only available from Southern Illinois University, Dr. Ed Heist xxx. The reasons justifying this lack of competition is based on the following description of specific qualifications the Government requires of the service to meet its minimum need, and the factors the Government will use to evaluate the service information submitted by firms in response to this Notice: Service needed is for the capability to genetically identify pallid and shovelnose sturgeon using regionally standardized baseline datasets from the Missouri River, Central Lowlands, and the Interior Highlands Management Units as identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pallid Sturgeon Recovery Program. Given samples from known adult reproductive pallid sturgeon, capability to genetically determine the likelihood of parentage of probable pallid sturgeon larva and juveniles using microsatellite DNA genotyping and regionally standardized baseline data sets form the Missouri River, Central Lowlands, and the Interior Highlands Management Units as identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pallid Sturgeon Recovery Program. Capability to genetically discriminate paddlefish from sturgeon, and probable pallid sturgeon from shovelnose sturgeon using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) developed using regionally standardized baseline data sets form the Missouri River, Great Plains Management Unit as identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pallid Sturgeon Recovery Program. Capability to verify identification of probable pallid sturgeon identified through single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with microsatellite DNA genotyping at 19 loci using regionally standardized baseline data sets form the Missouri River, Great Plains Management Unit as identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pallid Sturgeon Recovery Program. In order to be responsive to this Notice, a firm must provide the appropriate capability statement for consideration by 08/15/2013. Responses that do not comply with these procedures will not be considered. Requests for information and subsequent responses may be emailed to Beth Wilson, bwilson@usgs.gov. Firms are cautioned that this is not a solicitation. All costs associated with providing information as requested by this Notice shall be the responsibility of the responding firm.
