- Sources Sought 4639074 - Plasmid and Lentiviral based CRISPR Libraries Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE 1.Solicitation Number: HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-SS-17-751 2.Title: Plasmid and Lentiviral based CRISPR Libraries 3.NAICS Code: 541711 - Research and Development in Biotechnology 4.Description: This is a Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of all qualified sources to perform a potential requirement. This notice is issued to help determine the availability of qualified companies technically capable of meeting the Government requirement and to determine the method of acquisition. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals or quotes. No award will be made as a result of this notice. The Government will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by the respondents to this notice. This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only. Background: The National Institutes of Health has established an RNAi facility to provide intramural researchers with access to the equipment and expertise necessary to conduct genome-wide RNAi screens in mammalian cells. This facility works as a collaborative resource for doing RNAi assay development, screening, and initial follow up. Our facility works with investigators to develop and optimize their assays for screening, conduct the screens and related informatics analyses, then performs follow-up screens on promising leads. Further work is done with the PI to do the downstream biology required to get the quality publications and the kind of groundbreaking results needed. This request is required for this facility to develop a flexible functional genomics platform that offers complementary and orthogonal CRISPR screens to NIH intramural investigators. This item is needed to facilitate our RNAi screening program. This program is to provide intramural researchers with access to the equipment and expertise necessary to conduct large scale functional genomics screens. Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this requirement is to procure mice testing services to test compound alone and in combination with topotecan in CB.17 SCID mice to determine if the compound can reduce leukemia tumor size. Delivery Schedule: Within six (6) weeks after receipt of order (ARO) Project Requirements: a.The equipment we are requesting is four gRNA CRISPR libraries i.Kinome ii.Epigenetics iii.Membrane trafficking Quantity: Four (4) Libraries Capability statement /information sought. Please provide a capability statement, this includes: •Provide evidence the respondent has performed services. •Provide evidence of similar previous contracts of research of the same magnitude. •Information regarding (a) staff expertise, including their availability, experience, and formal and other training; (b) current in-house capability and capacity to perform the work; (c) prior completed project of similar nature; (d) corporate experience and management capability; and (e) examples of prior completed Government contracts, references, and other related information. Please provide your DUNS number, organization name, address point of contact, and size and type of business (e.g., 8(a), HubZone, etc.,) pursuant to the applicable NAICS code and any other information that may be helpful. One (1) copy of the response is required and must be in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format using 11-point or 12-point font, 8-1/2" x 11" paper size, with 1" top, bottom, left and right margins, and with single or double spacing. The information submitted must be must be in and outline format that addresses each of the elements of the project requirement and in the capability statement /information sought paragraphs stated herein. The response is limited to one to two (1-2) page limit. The 1-2 page(s) do not include the cover page, executive summary, or references, if requested. All responses to this notice must be submitted electronically to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer. Facsimile responses are NOT accepted. The response must be submitted to Danielle R. Brown, Contract Specialist, at Danielle.brown2@nih.gov. The response must be received on or before Monday, August 28, 2017 at 12:00PM, Eastern Standard Time. "Disclaimer and Important Notes: This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract or otherwise pay for the information provided in response. The Government reserves the right to use information provided by respondents for any purpose deemed necessary and legally appropriate. Any organization responding to this notice should ensure that its response is complete and sufficiently detailed to allow the Government to determine the organization's qualifications to perform the work. Respondents are advised that the Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted. After a review of the responses received, a pre-solicitation synopsis and solicitation may be published in Federal Business Opportunities. However, responses to this notice will not be considered adequate responses to a solicitation.
