- Description
- The National Institutes of Health, on behalf of the National Eye Institute intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Illumina, Inc. for Illumina HiSeq 2500 Reagent. The performance of next generation sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 requires multiple steps. The first step requires the creation of a DNA "library" using either genomic DNA or RNA as starting material which then undergoes numerous chemical modifications in order to prepare it for cluster generation (cBot) and then the actual sequencing of the DNA or RNA on the sequencing instrument (Illumina HiSeq 2500) all of which requires specialized reagents. The use of these reagents are required for the Illumina sequencing system and are not available from any other source. To switch to another system at this time would require an enormous amount of time and expense and would not be feasible. 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 ten (10) 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 holleyv@od.nih.gov by COB on 21 April 2015.
