The North American Industry Classification System code is 811219 for which the small business size standard is $22.0 million. The Government-owned NovaSeq 6000 sequencing system must be calibrated accurately and maintained according to the manufacturer�s specifications by authorized Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) trained service engineers. The NovaSeq 6000 is used for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) assays requiring high throughput and depth including Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), Transcriptome Sequencing (RNAseq) and/or for clinical cancer panel (TSO500) performed in NCI Comprehensive Oncologic Molecular Pathology and Sequencing Service (COMPASS) clinical sequencing WGS laboratory. Accurate and trustable data generation is the most important requirement of a clinical assay, and it can be achieved through regular maintenance, proactive monitoring of the systems, and ability to fix any unexpected issues encountered at any time. Any deviation from the design specifications during the required services will compromise the integrity of data for ongoing research studies. Illumina, Inc. is the original manufacturer, distributor, and the sole provider of preventive maintenance service, emergency service, proprietary firmware maintenance/upgrades, genuine OEM replacement parts, and OEM-trained technical support�for troubleshooting and diagnosing issues that arise during regular operation of the instrument. The required services are not authorized through any other entity. Additionally, the annual preventive maintenance is required to maintain laboratory accreditation with Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and College of American Pathologists (CAP) and necessary to provide the highest standard of performance for complex clinical and scientific instruments used for clinical testing.

However, if any interested party, especially a small business, believes it can meet the above requirements, it may submit a proposal or quote for the Government to consider. The response and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient details to allow NCI to determine if the party can perform the requirement.
