- Description
- NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) has a requirement for the data analysis and support services of proprietary data analysis pipelines and spaceflight microbiome data. Microbial spaceflight isolates will each be assembled using a combination of de novo assembly and mapping to reference sequences available in public databases. Genomes will be searched for multiple genes of interest. Data analysis must be completed by 9/28/2016. NASA JSC intends to purchase the items from J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) by other than full and open competition. While access to platforms to analyze whole genome sequencing data is available and can vary, proprietary data analysis pipelines and the spaceflight microbiome data are unique to JCVI. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on 8/09/2016. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.
