Description
THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY for planning purposes to identify interested vendors for the requirement detailed below. A formal solicitation, performance work statement, and technical exhibits are not available for release at this time. In accordance with FAR 19.5, Set-Asides for Small Business, the Government will review the information requested in this announcement to determine the type of set-aside (if any) for this requirement. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (PWRC) has a requirement for transcriptome sequencing services for differential gene expression analysis of RNA samples extracted from avian microbiome samples. Instead of the traditional (total) RNA-seq analysis the PWRC requires a more efficient approache that focuses on metatranscriptomics with depletion of highly expressed cytoplasmic and mitochondrial rRNA and/or globin mRNA. The service is to include RNA QC, Library Prep, library QC, sequencing, and delivery of data. Purified total RNA will be provided by the USGS. Issuance of a solicitation will be determined by the results of this request for information. The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be made available through the Governmentwide Point of Entry (GPE), https://fbohome.sam.gov/. It is the offeror�s responsibility to monitor this site for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). The anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541380 Testing Laboratories. The size standard is $16.5 million. Vendors who believe they can responsibly perform this requirement should submit the following information to the contract specialist no later than the response date of this request for information: 1. Capability statement describing expertise, technical qualifications, and experience to perform these services. 2. Small business status of potential offeror (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, etc.) 3. Point of contact information for potential offeror, Cage Code, and D&B Number. 4. Any other information that will prove the potential offeror can perform the required effort. Interested businesses should submit the above information to the attention of Daniel Galvin, by email only to dgalvin@usgs.gov. Responses should be limited to five pages (single-sided). NOTE: All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary - the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government. Materials submitted to the Government for review will not be returned. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. This is not a request for proposals/quotations.
