- Description
- This is a Sources Sought Notice only. �This Sources Sought Notice does not constitute an Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposals, or a Request for Quotations, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue an order or otherwise pay for the information solicited, nor is it a guarantee of a forthcoming solicitation or contract. �The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is for market research purposes only. �Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. The USDA/Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is conducting market research to support the USDA/ARS/SEA, Genetics and Sustainable Agriculture Research Unit, Mississippi State, MS location. Seeking Contractor to provide: 200 sample Shallow Shotgun Sequencing which includes Library preparation and sequencing on the llumina Next Seq (2X 150 BP) targeting an average of 0.5-2 million reads per sample. QC Report � Deliverables:� Raw FASTQ data (2x150 bp), Trimmed, host DNA-depleted, adaptor-removed FASTQ data. Relative abundance tables generated via mapping to a curated reference database; species and genus assignments where available. Functional profiling reported as KEGG orthology groups, modules, and pathways where available, or SEED Subsystems. Approach must allow for a metagenomic approach to sequencing �all� the DNA in the environmental sample at a lower cost for a more thorough sequencing approach with rapid fully publishable results.�� Approach must use a coverage of 5x over environmental DNA to conduct this service as opposed to a more thorough 8 or 1Ox approach which is far more costlyApproach must use a coverage of 5x over environmental DNA to conduct this service as opposed to a more thorough 8 or 1Ox approach which is far more costly. Approach to allow to quickly screen treatment effects at the DNA level and thus allows research location to decide if they need to further the investigation and use a more costly approach, focusing on fewer samples, rather than a more costly approach of sequencing all samples.����������������������������������������������������� Responses should include: Organization Name, address, contact phone number and e-mail address, and web site address. Business size with regard to North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 621511 per the standard described in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 19.102.
