- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation number is NICHD-17-138 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation/contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-95. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 325998 and the business size standard is 500 employees. However, this solicitation is not set aside for small business. This acquisition is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) intend to contract on a sole source basis with 10X Genomics Inc. - 7068 Koll Center Parkway - Suite 401 - Pleasanton, CA 94566 to procure the following items: 1. Product Code 120262 - Chromium TM i7 Multiplex Kit, 96 rxns - Quantity (2) EA 2. Product Code 120237 - Chromium TM Single Cell 3' Library & Gel Bead Kit v2, 16 rxns - Quantity (3) EA 3. Product Code 120236 - Chromium TM Single Cell A Chip Kit, 48 rxns - Quantity (4) EA The Chromium products will allow the lab to use new technology termed single-cell genomics and enables deep profiling of complex cell populations with high throughput digital gene expression analysis of individual cells. In order to perform single-cell genomics, the lab require the purchase of single-cell isolation system to obtain single cells from whole blood and placental tissues, an approach that has not been used to study the Great Obstetrical Syndromes. The products will be used with the compatible Chromium TM Single Cell Controller. The Chromium Single Cell System provides several advantages including: 1) detection of biologically relevant gene expression signals from up to 100,000 individual cells per chip across heterogeneous cell types, which was often masked by bulk average measurements; and 2) detection of novel cell types that were previously uncovered and uncharacterized with conventional bulk average measurements. The Chromium System uses a microfluidic chip to provide high-throughput reagent delivery, which minimizes human error. The 8-sample cartridge is loaded with gel beads, single-cell 3' or 5' reagents, a cell suspension, and oil surfactant solution. Reagents and cells are combined at a microfluidic junction where gel bead-containing emulsions are generated, in such a way that single cells are partitioned with unique cell-linked molecular vacuoles. This simple work-flow creates up to >80,000 gel bead-containing emulsions per channel in a 7-minute instrument run time. 10X Genomics, Inc. is the exclusive manufacturer of and the sole supplier authorized to promote the product code 120237. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of the 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1), FAR 6.302.
