- Description
- This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Twist Bioscience Corporation to procure oligo pools. These oligo pools are needed to perform our PhIP-seq. There is no other biological available that will meet the HIS need because of the optimized and specific antibody detection method. With TWIST products the immunoprecipitation can be scaled to 96 well plates and then multiplexed using barcodes. The oligo pools are a powerful and low-cost tool that allows the lab to study the antibody repertoire about hundreds of antigens. The PhIP-seq protocol has been developed and optimized using TWIST oligo pools. Changing vendors in the middle of critical pandemic preparedness experiments would result in major delays to the VRC�s research efforts. There is no other vendor available that can provide the product that the lab needs. The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1) as implemented by FAR 13.106-1 only one responsible source and no other supply of service will satisfy agency requirements. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. All responsible sources that could provide comparable services may submit a capability statement that will be considered by email (subject line to reference NOI-NIAID-2134775 to Maliaka Pinkney at maliaka.pinkney@nih.gov, by 12:00 pm eastern standard time September 5, 2022. All responses received by the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
