- Description
- sole source justification The USDA, ARS, NAA, Plant Genetic Resource Unit (PGRU) intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (i), "Soliciting from a single source" based upon only one responsible source. The USDA intends to solicit and negotiate with the University of California, Davis Genome Center and Bioinformatics Program to process five-hundred-seventy-six (576) samples, collected from various grape genetic mapping populations. Identification of variable regions in these mapping populations and determining the association with various grapevine traits will impact grape germplasm relevant to juice, raisin, wine, and table grape industries. The work includes, but is not inclusive of the cost of DNA RR-library construction, Quality Control (QC) and sample normalization; reagents and consumables; sequencing on a HiSeq2500 or HiSeq4000; plus labor costs associated with these processes. Over the past several years, ARS and GGRU have invested in genome wide SNP detection as a high-resolution DNA fingerprinting tool, and have become an international leaders in the analysis of germplasm and breeding lines. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposal. However, all inquiries received within seven (7) calendar days after date of publication of the Limited Sources Justification will be considered by the Government. Information may be emailed to the Contracting Officer at lisa.botella@ars.usda.gov. A determination by the Government not to complete based upon responses.
