- Description
- This Notice of Intent to sole source by the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) in support of Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) to procure DNeasy Ultraclean Microbial Kits from Qiagen without competition as prescribed in FAR Subpart 13.5. WRAIR aims to conduct biomedical research that is responsive to Department of Defense and US Army requirements and delivers life-saving products including knowledge, technology and medical material that sustain the combat effectiveness of the Warfighter. The Bacterial Diseases Branch (BDB) of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) researches militarily relevant bacterial pathogens and the infections they cause, and develops drugs and vaccines to prevent and treat those infections. Presently, the MRSN seeks to continue catalog and test MDROs for antibiotic resistance patterns and ascertain as much related information, such as mechanisms of resistance and types of carried resistance genes, as possible.� This best accomplished through high-throughput sequencing of individual MDRO isolates.� Prior to sequencing, isolates must be processed and nucleic acid material extracted using commercialized-off-the shelf nucleic acid extraction kits. DNeasy Ultraclean Microbial Kits are formatted specifically to isolate a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria and yeast. These kits will continue supporting the branch�s molecular biology applications by breaking down tough microbial samples with bead-beating protocols, and is compatible for use with existing WRAIR Illumina NextSeq and MiSeq DNA Sequencing systems. This requirement is for the annual delivery of the referenced DNeasy Ultraclean Microbial Kits that meets all the Minimum Essential Characteristics (MECs) which are: Vendor shall will provide DNA extraction kits so end product is compatible with the already owned, PCR, qPCR, and Illumina NextSeq & MiSeq DNA Sequencing Systems. Extraction kits shall be able to isolate high quality, inhibitor-free genomic DNA from 1.8mL of microbial culture via bead beating cell lysis. Extraction shall be rapid and not exceed 30 minutes Kits shall be able to extract DNA from gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria Kits shall contain all consumables and reagents needed for DNA extraction Kits shall be easily scalable and adaptive to an already owned automated liquid handling system. Shall provide free customer and technical service phone support for supplies and reagents Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1700, excluding federal holidays. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 325413 and PSC 6550. This Special Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotes. Information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government.. All questions and responses concerning this notice shall be emailed to Brian Miller at brian.d.miller1.civ@mail.mil. Interested concerns must identify their capability in writing to the above email address no later than 1:00 PM ET Local, 13 May 2021.
