The NAICS code for the project is 541715 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) Background The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/index.cfm), located in Research Triangle Park (RTP), North Carolina, is one of 27 research institutes and centers that comprise the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (http://www.nih.gov/). The mission of the NIEHS is to reduce the burden of human illness and disability by understanding how the environment influences the development and progression of human disease. In support of this mission, NIEHS seeks to establish a reliable, rapid and cost-effective Sanger Method capillary­based DNA sequencing services contract which supports investigators within the intramural research program at NIEHS. This sequencing information will provide vital information to ongoing investigations regarding environmental disease mechanisms and the genetic component involved in causes, outcomes, and progression of environmental diseases. This DNA Sequencing Services Contract will provide high quality DNA sequenceing of individual samples and accompanying bioinformatics support. The majority of the biological samples will be plasmid DNA and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) generated products. DNA samples will come from a variety of species that include, but are not limited to, human, rodent and recombinant DNA isolated from various tissue sources and cell lines. No identifiers will be included with the human samples provided. In addition, the contractor shall provide sample storage and preservation which are critical for subsequent nucleic acid analysis. Samples shall be held for a minimum of three months or until requested for return to the NIEHS COR or NIEHS Investigator. Samples not requested for return may be disposed of by the contractor but only after obtaining written approval from the COR and NIEHS Investigator. All available specimen information will be provided to the contractor prior to analysis. The contractor will make no attempt to identify the donor or patient from which the samples were obtained. The Government contemplates awarding a single-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to perform the work described herein. Work To Be Performed: The successful contractor shall supply all necessary labor, materials, equipment, facilities and supplies under the terms of this contract.
