- Description
- THIS IS A NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The U.S. Geological Survey intends to award a non-competitive firm fixed-price purchase order under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) to Qiagen LLC located in Germantown, Maryland for a 3-year IDIQ contract for transcriptome sequencing services of avian tissue samples for the Eastern Ecological Science Center in Laurel, Maryland. The period of performance is 09/27/2021 to 09/26/2026. The samples being submitted under this requirement are part of a larger project examining effects of pesticides on birds. USGS has previously contracted with Qiagen to analyze RNA extracted from spleen collected as part of this project and have the need to analyze additional tissues. Selection of a different laboratory for our sample analysis would jeopardize the continuity of data by introducing variability in methodology, QC and analytical instrumentation. The NAICS code is 541380. The size standard is $16.5 Million. Responses may be emailed to Jenna Dunning at jmdunning@usgs.gov no later than 3:30 PM ET, Tuesday, September 21, 2021. The anticipated award date of the contract is 09/22/2021. A vendor must be registered at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ to be awarded the contract. This is a sole source notice published for informational purposes only and not a request for competitive quotes. Therefore, no solicitation document exists for this requirement. However, in accordance with FAR 5.207, all responsible parties interested in responding to this notice are invited to submit a capability statement via email by the time and date specified in this notice that provides sufficient details for consideration by the Government. The determination not to compete the contract based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Phone calls will not be accepted in response to this notice. All information submitted should support the offeror's capability to provide the items required and shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Responses must be in writing and must provide clear and concise documentation indicating an offeror's bona fide capability to provide these supplies/services. Verbal responses are not acceptable and will not be considered.
