- Description
- The Virology & Emerging Infections Department of the U.S. Naval Medical and Research Unit No. 6 (NAMRU-6) is seeking to purchase reagents to prepare libraries using human and animal samples that later will be sequenced in the MiSeq platform developed by Illumina, as part of the projects of next-generation sequencing (NGS) that are being developed at this command. The kits must be designed for library preparation and sequencing. The library preparation kit should include a variety of steps that include enzymatic fragmentation, size selection, end-repair, a-tail and ligation step in the same reaction. The process should allow including dual index at the 5 and 3 prime end for later sample identification. Also, the library preparation kit should be designed to construct libraries with a low DNA input (~50ng) with master-mixed reagents ready to use. Similarly, the sequencing kit should allow us to run more than 150 sequencing cycles. Those cycles are needed to run paired-end libraries with a high quality performance. We expect to have more than 2.0 Gb per sequencing run with high Q30 values. Finally, the sequencing kit should include an internal control to validate the sequencing run. Sources interested to this notice are required to submit a capability statement that includes management, technical data and cost information, in sufficient detail and supporting evidence to demonstrate the capability to perform required work. The capability statement shall not exceed 5 pages (8.5 x 11 inch) using a font size not smaller than 10 points. All capability statements received by the due date will be considered by the Government. A request for documentation, 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, 09 May 2019. Capability statements shall be submitted by e-mail ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following address: genaro.m.vasquez.ln@mail.mil. Please use subject line "VEID190271". NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (24-APR-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
