- Description
- The Food and Drug Administration intends to make a sole source award for reagents for gene expression using Nanotechnology instruments in the amount of $31,998. The award will be made to: Nanostrings Technologies 530 Fairview Avenue North Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98109 In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The FDA has a requirement for reagents for gene expression analysis using proprietary Nanostring technology, which allows for the analysis of a large cohort of genes without significant sample processing and amplification, reducing variance and increasing confidence. The required kit includes reagents sufficient for 192 individual reactions, which are used in 16 blocks of 12 reactions each. Each reaction allows for the evaluation of 596 genes in each sample, including controls. In addition, internal controls are built into reaction to validate and quality control each reaction. The data generated by this system also allows for a systems biology approach to the analysis, providing direct export of the data to Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. These consumable reagents are to be used in concert with a Nanostring Prep station reaction preparation robot and Nanostring data analyzer molecule counter which is already in place in the FDA laboratory. Nanostring Technologies is the sole source for these reagents. This is proprietary technology developed and sold only by this company and the current Nanosting instruments can only function with the Nanostring reagents. The NAICS code for this action is 334516. This procurement is made under the authority of FAR 6.302- Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This is a notice of intent to issue an award on a sole source basis. This notice of intent is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. Any other firms desiring consideration must fully identify their interest and capability to provide this item to: Lisa Yaw Contracts Specialist Lisa.Yaw@fda.hhs.gov 240-402-4018 A determination by the government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The projected award date is on or about May 12, 2017.
