- Description
- Page 1 of 1 The Department of Veterans Affairs, Richard L Roudebush VA Medical Center, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, with Oxford Nanopore for the Oxford Nanopore GridION sequencing device. This is a bench-top sequencing device that enables the determination of full lengths RNA sequences. Nanopore sequencing is a unique technology developed by Oxford Nanopore and no other companies provide a similar product. Because Nanopore sequencing device is self-contained, there is no additional sequencing cost or dependency on outside sequencing services. Moreover, sepsis disrupts normal RNA splicing activities, hence full lengths RNA sequencing afforded by Nanopore is extremely important to decipher complex gene expression changes in the setting of sepsis. This is a notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement to the contracting office no later than June 16th, 12PM, EST. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Lynn Portman at lynn.portman@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
