- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Expression Analysis for the acquisition of Illumina RNASeq-25 service and related Data. Due to the high dimensionality of microarray data, identifying these differences using traditional methods such a t-test can be difficult as traditionally stringent statistical cutoffs still can yield significant false positives. We have identified PADE analysis as a method that can mitigate the multiple testing issues by calculating a false discovery rate from a reference data distribution generated from our experimental data. With PADE, we will be able to accurately determine our error rate. Small RNA Discovery and Analysis is an Illumina Genome Analyzer application that enables the discovery and profiling of all forms of small non-coding RNA from any organism without prior sequence information. With the ability to analyze up to four million small RNAs simultaneously in one sample, DGE: Small RNA Discovery and Analysis offers the broadest and deepest profiling solution for small RNA currently available. Additionally, we have used this service in the past and in order for previous data/ analysis and future data analysis to be accurately compared, we require this same service. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within twelve (12) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to contract specialist at VWL0@cdc.gov by 3:00 P.M. EST, June 9th, 2014.
