This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures as stated in FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1). The North American Industry Classification System code is 334516 and the business size standard is 500 employees. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. The delivery shall be 30 days from date of award. It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. The Molecular Targets Core in the Genetics Branch has extensive commitments in clinical biomarker testing and analysis for anti-cancer drug trials and clinical investigations at CCR. Most of the biomarkers-based studies are critical parts of clinical trials and have been written in many current clinical protocols. These biomarker studies include the investigational biomarkers, assays and the detection technology to be used for the testing. The technology of choice is electrochemiluminescence assay technology where Meso Scale Discovery Inc. (MSD) is sole provide for clinical biomarker analysis. The currently used MSD Imager 2,400 is currently broken and needs to be replaced urgently to allow the testing of biomarkers as written in clinical trial protocols and to support the biomarker analysis in other clinical studies. There are over 50 different biomarker tests that are routinely performed exclusively on this proprietary platform. The equipment required is the MSD QuickPlex SQ 120 which has the salient characteristics needed by the Genetics Branch such as that the instrument supports the same assays used with the MSD Imager 2,400. The new instrument uses the same software (WorkBench 4.0) which has been used in the process for testing and data analysis.
