The solicitation documents and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC2005-60 dated July 26, 2012. This acquisition will be processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) and is a small business set-aside, however small disadvantage, minority, veteran owned, and HUB zone companies etc., are encourage to submitting quotations. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334516, which has a size standard of 500 employees. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intends to procure one (1) automated single cell isolation and preparation system for genomic analysis to include: 1) internal barcode reader, 2) consumables starter kits to contain 40 arrays and 40 reagents kits that is sufficient for 3,840 samples, 3) basic install application training to include 2-day basic application and instrument workflow training that covers the principles of one of the following: Gene Expression, Genotyping, Digital PCR, Access Array or Single-cell, and to accommodate up to five (5) participants and will cover experimental set-up, data analysis, instrument use and trouble shooting, and 4) On Site installation of equipment. The system is to examine and differentiate single cells and group them according to unique genomes and transcriptomes while minimizing technical noise. The system should be able to 1) allow the end user to rapidly and reliably isolate, process, and profile individual cells for genomic analysis, 2) allow the end user to extract, reverse transcribe, preamplify, and ultimately detect and analyze cell activity using a single technology, and thus reducing the variability caused by multi-platform technical errors, 3) allow the gene expression workflow to process at least 96 single cells across 96 mRNA targets, 4) allow to incorporate a single-cell preparation system that automates the isolation, lysis, and pre-amplification of single cells and a single-cell automated preparation array integrated fluidic circuit that facilitates capture and highly paralleled preparation of at least 96 individual cells, and 5) the vendor should already have pre-formulated reagent kits to support cell suspension, lysis, and purification of individual cells. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers: 1) capability to meet required specifications, 2) price, 3) warranty, 4) training, 5) installation, and 6) delivery (60 days after receipt of order). Place of delivery is Bethesda, Maryland 20892. The government will award a fixed price purchase order to the responsible contractor. The FOB point shall be Destination.
