- Description
- Regional Procurement Office (RPO) - East intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, with New York Genome Center, Inc., for next generation sequencing (NGS) services for the James J. Peters VA Medical Center (Bronx). These services are required for the on-going VA-funded research study that aims to characterize gene expression dysregulation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at a single cell level using postmortem brain specimens. NYGC has been involved in the previous ALS studies for the Bronx VAMC and has provided high quality NGS results that meet requirements. Notably, NYGC has experience in sequencing samples with low DNA concentration, which is a common feature of samples obtained from postmortem brain. This is achieved by detailed quality control of the samples prior sequencing that is included in services provided by NYGC. Thus, it is important for VA to continue obtaining NGC services from NYGC to maintain consistent support and data quality for the current ALS study. This is a notice of intent and is not a request for competitive quotes; however, any responsible source who believes they are qualified to meet this unique need may submit a capability statement to the contracting office no later than Friday, September 16, 2022, 11:59 AM EST. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Millicent Covert, Contracting Officer, at millicent.covert@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.
