- Description
- Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition-PR0004498 PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a one-time, sole source, fixed price contract with Illumina, Inc., 5200 Illumina Way, San Diego, California for the purpose of procuring specialized reagents and supplies for its MiSeq FGx instruments. The DNA Support Unit (DSU) is in the process of evaluating the MiSeq FGx, a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) instrument manufactured by Illumina, Inc. The MiSeq FGx requires dedicated reagents and supplies to operate. These consumables are required both for preparation of DNA prior to MiSeq FGx sequencing and subsequent operation of the instrument, and they are critical in order for the DSU to continue its evaluation of NGS instruments. Without these consumables, the DSU will be unable thoroughly evaluate, validate, and implement the full range of NGS technologies. The DSU needs to procure the following in support of its existing MiSeq FGx instruments: • Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation Kit (96 samples), product number FC1311096 • TruSeq DNA PCRFree HT Kit, product number FC1213003 • TruSeq DNA PCRFree LT Library Prep Kit Set A, product number FC1213001 • Nextera XT Index Kit (96 indexes, 384 samples), product number FC1311002 • TruSeq DNA PCRFree LT library Prep Kit Set B, product number FC1213002 • TruSeq Nano LT Library Prep Kit Set B (24 samples), product number FC1214002 • TG ForenSeq DNA Signature Prep Kit, product number TG4501001 • MiSeq Reagent Kit v2, product number MS1022002 • TG MiSeq FGx Reagent Kit, product number TG1431001 • TruSeq Nano DNA HT Sample Prep Kit (96 samples), product number FC1214003 • TruSeq Nano LT Library Prep Kit Set A (24 samples), product number FC1214001 • MiSeq Reagent Kit v3, product number MS1023003 Based on market research, and Government end-users, it has been determined that Illumina, Inc. is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the MiSeq FGx instrument and its associated products and kits/reagents; therefore, they are the only company capable of providing the necessary consumables for these instruments. This notice will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration's Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Website (www.fedbizopps.gov). Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the FBO site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition. The North American Classification System Code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The FBI intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement to the attention of: Kemper Wood, email address: Kemper.Wood@ic.fbi.gov by Tuesday, February 16, 2016 (3:00 pm Eastern). Emailed responses will only be considered. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is at the discretion of the Government. Vendors must be registered in SAM, effective July 29, 2012 to receive government contracts. The FBI uses a financial system that has a direct interface with SAM.
