- Description
- This notice is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for commercial items using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This acquisition will be made in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6 �Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and solicitation for commercial Items,� as applicable, and as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation (a written solicitation will not be issued) and quotes are being requested. The Solicitation number is RFQ-NIAID-24-2230592 and the solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotes (RFQ). This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The solicitation documents and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2024-04 May 22, 2024. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1000 employees. The requirement is being competed with a brand name restriction, and without a small business set-aside. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) conducts and supports basic and applied research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases. Within NIAID, the Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases (LPD) conducts basic and applied research on the prevention, control, and treatment of a variety of parasitic and bacterial diseases of global importance. The work of the group is largely directed toward the identification of immunological and molecular targets for disease intervention. Much of this work is directed at uncovering basic aspects of the host-pathogen interaction in both humans and experimental animal models as well as in the invertebrate vectors that transmit medically important parasites. A common theme in many of the LPD�s research projects is the regulatory environment induced in chronic parasitic and bacterial infection and the identification of determinants of host resistance and pathology. Project Background:�� The LPD requires an automated library prep liquid handling platform.� This instrument will play a vital role in all sections of the LPD.�� The Bravo NGS is a flexible and compact automated liquid handling platform that streamlines your routine genomic workflows, including library preparation and target enrichment for next generation sequencing (NGS). Agilent VWorks automation control software allows users to quickly start the system and run preprogrammed protocols with confidence, while the open platform provides the flexibility to serve a wide range of applications.? The Bravo NGS offers the advantage of increased throughput without affecting data quality, and frees researchers from performing time-consuming and repetitive tasks. The integrated on-deck thermal cycler (ODTC) further increases walkaway time and greatly simplifies the NGS sample preparation workflow. The compact design of the Agilent Bravo automated liquid handing platform makes it an excellent choice for labs with space constraints.
