- Description
- Notice of Intent - The USDA, ARS, SEA intends to award a sole source procurement to Bionano Genomics, 9640 Towne Centre Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92121, as they are the sole source of this type of instrument, pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253©(1) and FAR 6.302-1. Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The award will be for a Saphyr System with Bionano Access Server, Saphyr Compute Server, and Saphyr Seconday Compute Server. The instrument includes a high-throughput nanofluidics system designed to generate physical genome maps from the massively parallel single-molecule visualization of extremely long DNA molecules without amplification to provide long-range contiguity critical for de novo sequence scaffolding and analysis of structural variation in complex genomes. The DNA molecules are differentially stained with fluorescent dyes, linearized in nanochannels, and imaged. The images are processed through the computing servers to assemble genomespanning de novo physical maps. The Saphyr Chip is a propriety, integrated nanofluidic chip comprised of 2 discreet flowcells each comprised of 120,000 nanochannels. The patented design of the chip allows for simultaneous, high-throughput interrogation of thousands of molecules of labeled DNA that are electrophoretically moved through the various features of the chip that linearize the molecules before they are confined in the nanochannels and imaged. The Saphyr Chip requires as a minimum of 80ng of labeled DNA per flowcell with a data throughput of 320 of 320 Gb per run. The Government intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order on or about July 17, 2018. This Notice of Intent is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFW) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will consider responses received by 2:00 PM Central time, July 16, 2018. Information received will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries should be e-mailed to huron.virden@ars.usda.gov or mailed to the Contracting Officer at the following address: Contracting Office Address: USDA-ARS-SEA 141 Experiment Station Road Stoneville, MS 38776-0225
