- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation number is NICHD201700034 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation/contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-95. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 511210 and the business size standard is 1000 employees. However, this solicitation is not set aside for small business. This acquisition is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) intend to contract on a sole source basis with Qiagen Inc., 19300 Germantown Road, Germantown, MD 20874 to provide Ingenuity Variant Analysis software. Ingenuity Variant Analysis is a bioinformatics package that we are using to further process our 460 whole genome data samples. Ingenuity will give us access to their product for one year from activation, which will give us a bioinformatics tool to obtain biological interpretation of the 460 human whole genome data samples. This includes accessing our Whole Genome Sequence from 460 samples to our private cloud, where we will have access to various analyses, including confidence, common variants, predicted deleterious, genetic analysis, statistical association, and biological context such as genetic pathways. These variants can then be linked to Biology using Ingenuity Knowledge Base. This whole genome sequence data will be aligned and will generate called Variants Files. We can share data among all the users in our group. Ingenuity Variant Analysis is a web--based application that helps us in studying Type 2 Diabetes to identify causal variants from Pima whole genome sequencing data. Ingenuity Variant Analysis combines analytical tools and integrated content to help rapidly identify and prioritize variants by drilling down to a small, targeted subset of variants based both upon published biological evidence and our knowledge of Type 2 Diabetes biology. With Variant Analysis, we have been able to interrogate the variants from multiple biological perspectives, explore different biological hypotheses, and identify the most promising variants for follow-up. NIDDK has also been able to produce publishable tables and graphs using this program. the offeror must include a completed copy of the provision of FAR Clause 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items with its offer.
