The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in support of the Laboratory of Viral Diseases (LVD) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition for a Genomic libraries for WGS and ChIP , RNA seq libraries, seq, Illumina HiSeq4000 channels, Bioinformatics sequence analysis from University of Maryland Institute for Genomics Science (220 Arch St. Baltimore, MD 21201-1531). Due to the highly technical nature of these techniques, and the data obtained will be a combination of viral and human sequences, extensive experience is required to analyze the data. The complexity of tandemly integrated and reorganized viral integration sites, we need the number and long sequence reads provided by the Illumina Hiseq4000 instrument for WGS, RNA seq and ChIP seq. The Genomics Resource Center is the only facility in our area to have the equipment to provide whole genome sequencing (WGS), RNA sequencing (RNAseq) and Chromatin immunoprocipitation sequencing (ChIP). We need a service provider who is local, so that we can have direct interaction about this highly complex sequence analysis. This is not a request for proposal. The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C. 25(c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 only one source available, no substitutions possible. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE NOT BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. All responsible sources may submit a response that will be considered. The Government reserves the right to make a decision whether this requirement is available for competition. All responses shall be submitted no later than 3:00p.m. Eastern Standard Time Tuesday, August 25, 2015 to Jennifer Burke at [email protected].
