- Description
- Description Notice of Intent to award a sole source purchase order under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and FAR 5.207( c) (15). The United States Department of Agriculture intends to contract with Dovetail Genomics, LLC on a sole source basis for whole genome sequencing to the chromosome lever for the beet leafhopper (circulifer tenellus) with annotation.� There will be no solicitation posted because there was no response to the Sources Sought posting #1039409. Scope of Work: Whole genome and mRNA Sequencing of beet leafhopper (Circulifer tenellus). �We have 1 sample for whole genome sequencing and 6 samples for mRNA-sequencing. The genome size is ~2,000 MB. Proximity Ligation Library for genome sequencing and mRNAseq libraries for mRNA sequencing. Latest version of software. Our timeline to delivery is ~3-4 months. Objectives of the Sequencing Project: To sequence and assemble beet leafhopper genome at the chromosome level and validate the genome sequencing data using mRNA sequencing. Whole genome and mRNA sequencing: Sample extraction, gDNA and mRNA processing. Preparation of Libraries and quality control. DNA - sequencing using PacBio HiFi Sequencing and RNA - sequencing using lllumina system. Generate chromosome level assembly with HiRise software platform See attached list of services/tasks to be performed. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit technical capabilities, pricing, and other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the Governments needs no later than response time provided. Detailed capabilities must be submitted to attached POC via email. This synopsis is not considered a request for bid/quote/proposal. No solicitation document is available and telephone requests for technical information will not be honored. No contract will be awarded on a basis of offers received in response to this notice ]but offers will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the Government. The determination not to compete this action further is solely within the discretion of the Government. �Information received will normally be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.� The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTES OR PROPOSALS. Responses should be sent via email to Purchasing Agent Shelley C. Steen at shelley.steen@usda.gov. Responses are due no later than July 2, 2021 at 5pm MDT.
