- Description
- STATEMENT OF WORK - NIHLM2015416 This Small Business Sources Sought Notice is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation or commitment by the Government. This notice is intended strictly for Market Research. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases is conducting a market survey to determine the availability and technical capability of qualified small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business or HUBZone small businesses capable of providing a Service contract renewal for Two 433a Peptide Synthesizers. Applications in either area are of great benefit to human health and thus to NIDDK's mission. Research conducted in the Laboratory of Bioorganic Chemistry involves synthesis of biologically active molecules called peptide nucleic acids (PNAs). The instrumentation in our lab is specific to our needs for the synthesis of PNA, and it must be able to make PNA molecules by specific automated protocols that we have developed over many years. In addition, the instrumentation must be able to preactivate all PNA monomers with the coupling reagent and dispense volumes as low as 125 microliters. Therefore the instrumentation must be maintained to meet the following specs: 1. Perform automated solid phase peptide synthesis of peptide nucleic acid ologimers using protocols and monomers developed in the Appella lab. 2. Preactivate all PNA monomers for coupling in a separate reaction vessel. 3. Perform reaction solution transfers with volumes as low as 125 microliters. 4. Perform simultaneous and orthogonal peptide synthesis reactions based on t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) and fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) chemistries, and provide delivery of deprotecting reagents for each type of protecting group (trifluoroacetic acid and piperidine, respectively). The service contract shall for the period extending between 05/18/2015 - 05/17/2016. The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industrial Classification (NAICS) code 811219 with a size standard of $19.0M. Offerors who are capable of providing at a minimum, fifty-one percent (51%) of the required/actual services of this solicitation. All respondents are requested to identify their firm's size and type of business. Interested firms responding to this market survey must provide (a) capability statement demonstrating their experience, skills and capability to fulfill the Government's requirements for the above. The capability statement shall be in sufficient enough detail, but not to exceed 15 pages, so that the Government can determine the experience and capability of your firm to provide the requirements above. Your capability statement, not to exceed 15 pages, should include references. Capability statement must be received at the address identified in this synopsis no later than 11:00 A.M. local time at designated location on March 26, 2015. Responses by FAX or E-MAIL WILL BE ACCEPTED. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Disclaimer and Important Notes: This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract or otherwise pay for the information provided in response. The Government reserves the right to use information provided by respondents for any purpose deemed necessary and legally appropriate. Any organization responding to this notice should ensure that its response is complete and sufficiently detailed to allow the Government to determine the organization's qualifications to perform the work. Respondents are advised that the Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provided feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted. After a review of the responses received, a pre-solicitation synopsis and solicitation may be published in Federal Business Opportunities. However, responses to this notice will not be considered adequate response to a solicitation. The Government reserves the right to use any non-proprietary technical information in any resultant solicitation(s)." Any questions regarding this announcement must be sent via email to griffinv@mail.nih.gov and must include solicitation NIHLM2015416 in the subject line of email. PLEASE NOTE: In order to receive an award, contractor must be registered and have valid certification in the System for Award Management (SAM) [formerly CCR].
