- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This acquisition will be made in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6 �Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and solicitation for commercial Items,� as applicable, and as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation (a written solicitation will not be issued) and quotes are being requested. The Solicitation number is RFQ-NIAID-2026733 and the solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotes (RFQ). This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The solicitation documents and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2020-07, Effective 07/02/2020.� The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard size of 1,000 employees. This requirement is not set-aside for small business. Background and description of requirement: The Laboratory of Malaria Vector Research has a clinic in Mali, west Africa. Currently the MRTC in Mali has limited capability for high-throughput extraction of DNA, RNA or protein from biological samples. Most sample preparations currently in use are single-sample format centrifugal extractions such as the DNeasy spin-column kit from Qiagen or chemical extractions such as phenol-chloroform. Due to the individual format of these extractions and the delicate steps necessary, there is a functional limit of extraction in the range of 30-100 samples per day. Additionally, as there are many �hands-on� steps through this procedure, the risk of contamination or samples lost in error is high. We need to purchase a KingFisher Flex 96-well format extraction robot to increase the ability of the MRTC to perform high-throughput analysis on a wide variety of sample types and support the efforts of LMVR. This machine utilizes a magnetic, bead-based extraction format that has a high degree of flexibility in its application and allows for the isolation of DNA/RNA nucleic acids, plasmids, and proteins depending on the kit utilized. The machine is programmable and automated, allowing for additional assays including immunoprecipitation and enzyme-linked absorbance assays (ELISA). This flexibility in sample and assay type due to the magnetic platform gives this instrument greater longevity in use over other platforms. The machine is also easy to use, with a short training being sufficient for individual use. Furthermore, as this machine has no liquid handling, there are decreased maintenance requirements. The Thermo Fisher Kingfisher platform provides the sample throughput needed and does not utilize liquid handling equipment that is frequently the source of breakdown/requires consistent maintenance as are utilized in other extraction systems. It can process up to 96 extraction or 24 samples in triplicate. It has permanent rods to collect the magnetic beads from solution and releases the beads into a well containing reagents for the next step of isolation.
