- This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Clinical Center (CC) Department of Laboratory Medicine (DLM), has a requirement to purchase Affymetrix Biobank plates, Axiom arrays and Axiom Kits (3 each) for our existing government owned instrument, the Affymetrix GeneTitan System. This system is used to address many diseases and multiple infections from HIV, Hepatitis to toxoplasmosis to Sickle Cell disease in critically ill patients in the Clinical Center. The NIH, CC intends to award a fixed price purchase order to Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA 95051 for three (3) Axiom 2.0 1x96 reagent kit 96 reactions, three (3) Axiom Biobank 1 96-array, and three (3) Axiom Array GT-consumable kits that are proprietary to the government owned Affymetrix GeneTitan System. Affymetrix is the sole proprietor of the GeneTitan System which is integrated platforms of instruments, informatics, chemistry, and applications. Genotyping Console Software was developed specifically as a tool for automated allele calling and quality assessment of genotypes from Axiom Arrays. The Affymetrix Axiom Biobank Genotyping Array, Axiom 2.0 Reagent Kit and the Affymetrix GeneTitan TM instrument platform with Genotyping Console software is a unique and completely integrated microarray analysis solution for genomics research available solely from Affymetrix. Axiom Biobank Genotyping Array incorporates multiple content categories, including a genome-wide association study (GWAS) panel of markers for genome-wide coverage in major ethnic groups, rare coding SNPs and indels for exome analysis, pharmacogenomic markers, eQTLs, and newly discovered loss-of-function variants, including sequence insertions and deletions from recent exome sequencing initiatives. Axiom 2.0 Reagent Kit contains pre-optimized and validated reagents that enable a universal and automated workflow for parallel processing of 96 reactions per plate all-inclusive reagent kit has been designed to work with the Axiom Exome Genotyping Array in a manual or fully automated workflow. There is no known company, nor does Affymetrix authorize any third-party, which can provide the breadth and depth of knowledge of the unique instrumentation to properly service the Affymetrix GeneTitan system. The acquisition is being conducted using policies unique to the acquisition of commercial items prescribed in FAR Part 12, in conjunction with the policies and procedures for the competition requirements of part 6. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this posting. The determination by the Government no to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
