- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial service items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being issued as a request for quotation. The solicitation number for this acquisition is NIAID-RFQ-15D1741799. This solicitation document and its incorporated provisions are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC 2005-83) dated July 2, 2015. This acquisition will be processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and is a Small Business Set-Aside. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) has a requirement for a Custom Library construction for cDNA. NIAID is interested in finding host proteins that interact specifically with ebola virus proteins from species adapted strains when compared to homologous and heterologous hosts. There are no select agent or infection concerns, the lab will provide individual viral proteins, none of which are toxins. NIAID intends to procure at 4 viral proteins (VP24, NP, VP35, and L) from 2 isolates, mouse adapted and wild type parental (8 total proteins) and would like to screen against C57BL/6 and rhesus or cynomolgus macaque libraries. The 'unique binders' are of particular interest. They expect completion of the service within 3 months, will provide library construction from primary macrophage cells, will provide bait vector construction, will provide toxicity testing, will provide self-activation testing, and do not claim intellectual property on the data. Also validates the library and ensure that it will contain at least 3 million primary clones, 23 of these will be picked randomly to determine the average insert size, insert size range, and percentage of vectors with inserts. At least 87% of the vectors will contain inserts and the average insert size will be >1.2kb with a range of 0.5kb to 3kb. The high quality standard and relatively quick completion time best meet our needs. All responsible sources who have the ability to provide these services may submit a response that will be considered.
