- FBO ANNOUNCEMENT: PRESOLICITATION NOTICE, NOTICE OF INTENT ACTION CODE: SPECIAL NOTICE CLASSIFICATION CODE: 66 - Instruments and Laboratory Equipment SUBJECT: Repair and Maintenance for MiSeq and HiSeq 2500 Sequencing Ecosystems SOLICITATION NUMBER: NB630020-17-02645 RESPONSE DATE: 5/29/2017 DESCRIPTION: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with Illumina, Inc., located in San Diego California for repair and maintenance of NIST-owned MiSeq and HiSeq Sequencing Ecosystems. Sole Source justification is based on the following: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Genome Scale Measurements Group (GSMG) conducts research in all aspects of measurement science, technology development, and standards for measurements where biological state is related to the contemporaneous levels of many biomolecules; establishes methods for asserting traceability, assessing measurement uncertainty, and validating measurements for multiplexed measurands. To continue NISTs mission, GSMG is requesting a service contract to ensure Illumina Inc. instruments (MiSeq and HiSeq 2500) are continually operating at optimal levels. The group must ensure the systems are functioning properly with rapid access to repairs by OEM certified engineers to not interrupt or compromise the measurement process. The contractor shall provide the following: Repair and maintenance approved for use with the MiSeq and HiSeq 2500 sequencing ecosystems. Only OEM parts shall be used for repairs, which must result in the proper function and usability of each instrument. Work shall be conducted at NISTs campus in Gaithersburg, MD and the contractor shall provide a detailed written report for each visit stating services required, and actions taken. Market research determined that Illumina is the only source of service for these instruments who has access to the following resources which are required for performance: Manufacturer-certified repair technicians, proprietary service tools, software, procedures, and replacement parts. Illumina does not provide these proprietary resources to third party vendors. As such, NIST has determined Illumina to be the only source reasonably available. The resulting order will be a Firm-Fixed Price purchase order. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 05/29/2017 will be considered by the Government.
