- INTRODUCTION: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Office of Acquisition (OA) on behalf of the National Human Genome Research Institute, (NHGRI), intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive sole source basis to Roche Diagnostics, 9115 Hague Road, Indianapolis, IN 46256-1025 to procure Titanium Sequencing Kits. Procurement : 1. GS Titanium Sequencing Kit, XLR70, Catalog Number: 05233526001, Quantity: Twenty-Five (25); 2. GS Titanium PTP Kit 70x75, Catalog Number: 05233682001, Quantity: Thirty-Two (32); 3. GS Titanium LV emPCR Kit-Lib-L 2 emulsions, Catalog Number: 05618428001, Quantity: Thirty-Two (32); 4. GS Titanium emPCR Breaking Kits MV/LV 12pc, Catalog Number: 05233658001, Quantity: Six (6); 5. GS Titanium Sequencing Kit XLR70+, Catalog Number: 06380865001. Quantity: Seven (7); and 6. Order Processing Fee. BACKGROUND : The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation's leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency conducting and supporting medical discoveries that improve people's health and save lives. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), NIH Intramural Sequencing Center (NISC) is a centralized research facility for performing high-throughput, large-scale DNA sequencing and sequence analysis. NISC participates in several large-scale, international projects. The human microbiome project is one such project. One of the goals of this project is to provide reference genome sequences for novel microbial isolates. This requires de novo sequence assembly, which is very challenging. This requires long accurate reads. DELIVERY: Delivery will be made upon award. JUSTIFICATION: NISC is in need of purchasing reagents for use in Roche's Genome Sequencer FLX (454) instrument which is used to support projects throughout the NIH. In particular the Skin Microbiome project requires 454 sequence in order to create reference sequences for relevant strains. This data type is required for studying the evolution of HIVs antibodies in AIDS resistant patients. NISC is need of purchasing enough reagents to keep up with the demand. NISC is need of purchasing enough reagents to keep up with the demand. Roche is the sole manufacturer of these reagents. The kits are in a pre-configured format to fit directly into the Genome Sequencer FLX (454) instrument. REGULATORY AUTHORITY: This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b) Soliciting from a single source, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and the Small Business Size Standard is 500 Employees. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13, simplified acquisition procedures, therefore the requirements of FAR Part 6 B Competitive Requirements are not applicable (FAR Part 6.001). The resultant Contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05-69 (August 1, 2013). This requirement is under the SAT of $150,000.00. This synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice. Responses to this notice shall contain sufficient information to establish the interested parties' bona-fide capabilities for fulfilling the requirement and include: unit price, list price, shipping and handling costs, the delivery period after contract award, the prompt payment discount terms, the F.O.B. Point (Destination or Origin), the Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS), the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and the certification of business size. All offerors must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) www.sam.gov." A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to proceed on a non-competitive basis or to conduct a competitive procurement. All responses must be received by August 15, 2013 and must reference synopsis number HHS-NIH- NHLBI-CSB-(HG)-2013-238-DLM, may be submitted to the National, Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, Office of Acquisition, COAC Services Branch, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Suite 6149, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-7902, Attention: Dorothy Maxwell. Response may be submitted electronically to maxwelld@mail.nih.gov. Faxes will not be accepted. Responses will only be accepted if dated and signed by an authorized company representative. "All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency."
