- Description
- The Naval Medical Research Unit 6 in Lima Peru is seeking to purchase primers and probes to be used for molecular diagnosis of Influenza and arboviral febrile viruses in the Virology & Emerging Infections Department. Specifically, requirement involves detector primers (DNA targeting markers) for molecular techniques like PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) in real-time platforms and sanger DNA sequencing that are used for precise identification of human influenza viruses (Influenza A-matrix gene and B) and its subtypes (H3, H1pdm/SwH1N1, H1 seasonal and H5) (SOP N6-VIR-MB RV 014); sequencing full genome of influenza A using chain-terminator method of Sanger (SOP N6-VIR-MB RV 005) in order to obtain genetic maps for phylogenetic analysis of the virus in our region. All these NAMRU-6 assays have been validated using the TaqMan 7500/7500 Fast Real time PCR system and therefore, compatibility of the consumables is a requirement. The RT-PCR assays have been developed independently for each SOP and involve much time and effort by laboratory technicians, and supervisors for final approval. Place of Delivery: NAMRU-6 - Lima Peru If capable sources are not identified through this notice, then NAMRU 6 intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(i) to Biosearch Technologies, for the requirements of NAMRU-6. This pre-solicitation is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for the requirement. Sources interested in responding to this notice are required to submit a capability statement that includes management and technical data and cost information, in sufficient detail and with convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the capability to provide the required supplies. Capability statements shall not exceed 5 (8.5 x 11 inch) pages using a font size no smaller than 10-point. All capability statements received by the due date of this notice will be considered by the Government. A request for documentation or additional information or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered as an affirmative response. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed with a sole source contract. Capability statements are due by 12:00 PM Local Time, March 30th 2018. Capability statements shall be submitted by e-mail ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following address: javier.b.gil.fn@mail.mil Please use subject line "NAMRU6_VEID180346_PRIMERS".
