The award will be to purchase the following product/services: The ARS/Warmwater Aquaculture Research Unit (WARU) requires fourteen Axiom DNA arrays for genotyping 5,376 catfish of the Delta Select strain for a genomic selection program. Specifications: QTY 5376- AXIOM SERVICES NON-HUMAN CUSTOM 384 Redesign of previous catfish array These custom arrays were specifically designed from the Delta Select strain that was developed at WARU, and research unit has used them in prior years to produce genotypes from ancestors of the current sampled fish. These custom arrays are required now so that the current data will be consistent with prior experiments.� These arrays were custom designed by the vendor based on DNA sequence data obtained from the Delta Select catfish population and provided to the vendor by a WARU scientist. The custom arrays have been used in two experiments in previous years to provide information on DNA sequence variants (�genotypes�) in this population. These are the only arrays available that can detect the specific DNA sequence variants in the Delta Select population, and it is important that the same arrays are used in order to maintain data integrity and continuity between generations of fish in this population. It is also critical to obtain this information in a timely manner because it is critical to select genetically superior fish as broodstock in March and April for the annual spawning season. The custom arrays are available only from Life Technologies Corporation. The Government intends to award a firm fixed price Purchase Order on or about April 21, 2021. �This Notice of lntent is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposals (RFP).
