- Description
- A sole source blanket purchase agreement was awarded to Applied Biosystems, LLC headquartered in Foster City, CA for DNA testing supplies to operate USDA-owned, Applied Biosystems brand name Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) equipment used for commodity testing under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1). The total amount of the award is not to exceed $200,000.00 over a 5-year period of performance. Justification Statement: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), GIPSA (Grain, Inspection, Packers & Stockyards Administration), TSD (Technical Services Division) Laboratory in Kansas City, MO uses the DNA testing supplies to validate real-time PCR methods and verify accuracy, precision, and reliability using publicly available methods currently used to identify transgenic events in biotechnology-derived grains and oilseeds. Also, GIPSA provides scientific expertise, engages U.S. stakeholders, and influences outcomes on issues related to testing of biotechnology-traits in grains. GIPSA facilitates grain marketing by verifying the accuracy, precision and reliability for testing of biotechnology-derived traits that are (or could be) inadvertently released into the marketplace. In the event of such a release, GIPSA must act quickly to ensure accurate testing is available in the marketplace. The GIPSA PCR testing uses Applied Biosystems brand primer/probe sets and master mix enzyme reagents that are solely available from Applied Biosystems.
