- Description
- Notice of Intent: The USDA, ARS, WBSC intends to award a sole source procurement to Life Technologies Corporation., 3175 Staley Road, Grand Island, New York, 14072, as they are the sole source for this type analyzer pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C.253(c)(l ) and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy agency Requirements. This award will be for a custom high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping array that will be specific to the genome of the blue catfish. Our research requires a genotyping array that contains probes for polymorphic loci for both the blue and channel catfish. We have available data from 660,000 probes for the channel catfish genome produced from an Affymetrix myDesign Genotyping Array. The current requirement is for an Affymetrix myDesign Genotyping Array that contains probes for >= 600,000 sites in the blue catfish genome in which candidate SNP loci with neighboring SNP loci that are as close as 20 bases from the candidate can be interrogated, and probe design performance is guaranteed in subsequent arrays. The award will also include genotyping for 288 individual samples and electronic delivery of the data to USDA. Life Technologies is the sole source of this array and service that will satisfy these criteria and meet our research requirements. The Government intends to award a firm fixed price Purchase Order on or about September 15, 2017, using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This Notice of Intent is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored.
