- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE (FAR 5.207(c)(15) and (16)) The Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a requirement for reagent and related kits in support of sequencing enteric disease isolates. The CDC intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) for Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), Illumina Inc., in order to satisfy this requirement. Reasons include the criticality that only reagents optimized for the Miseq and guaranteed by the manufacturer are used, otherwise, it would require revalidation of assays at great expense. Additionally, CDC has found these reagents to optimally meet requirements for library preparation and whole genome sequencing using instruments already purchased. Finally, these are the only kits found to meet needs for whole genome sequencing CDC bacterial isolates based on information and experience from CDC Core Facility. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement or quotation which shall be considered by the agency if received by the Contract Specialist or Officer prior to the response date/time in this announcement. This is not a request for competitive quotations; rather, any information received will be used solely for the purpose of determining if a competitive acquisition should be undertaken. This determination will be at the sole discretion of the government.
