- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT AND NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Fisher Scientific, Hanover Park, IL 60133 pursuant to 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1)--Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This purchase is for Catalog # RHS6037 GIPZ Human Whole Genome SHRNA, Quantity of 1 each and Catalog # RMM5829 GIPZ Mouse Whole Genome SHRNA, Quantity of 1 each. The GPIZ shRNA libraries offer the following: 1) Increased specificity and less toxicity; 2) use TurboGFP to mark cells expressing shRNA; 3) Efficient low copy knowdown; 4) Provide genome-wide human (96331 shRNAs) and mouse (101384 shRNAs) coverage; 5) Efficient RNAi in different cell types, including primary and non-dividing cells; 6) provide guaranteed knockdown: One out of three GIPZ Lentiviral shRNA is guaranteed to produce gene knockdown by > 70% at the mRNA level; 7) Provide a renewal source to be shared; 8) Easily be cloned into doxycycline-inducible vectors with fluorescence reporters to achieve inducible and trackable gene silencing for lineage-tracing or genetic mosaic studies. The GIPZ lentiviral shRNA libraries must be provided in 96-well microtiter plates containing frozen E.coli stocks of individual shRNA constructs. These items are required for on-going research projects. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received within 4 days from the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government.
