- UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Cincinnati, OH 45268 Pre Solicitation Notice SOL 68HERC24Q0155 Next Generation Sequencing The solicitation 68HERC24Q0155 will be available for downloading at FedConnect� located at the following internet address: www.fedconnect.net/. Questions relating to the solicitation are required to be submitted electronically through FedConnect�. ONLY those questions posted through FedConnect� will be accepted. All responses to questions will be released on FedConnect�. At this Internet site you will be able to register with FedConnect�, enabling you to download the solicitation once released, join the mailing list, and to submit questions. If you need technical assistance in registering or for any other FedConnect� function, call the FedConnect� Help Desk at (800) 899-6665 or email at support@fedconnect.net. Contractor registration in the Government�s System for Award Management (SAM) is required to be eligible for contract award. Registration may be completed and information regarding the registration process may be obtained at http://www.sam.gov. Once issued, solicitation documents will be available electronically for download at https://www.fedconnect.net. Hard copies of the solicitation package will not be distributed. Electronic copies of responses will be required and must be submitted via FedConnect� (https://www.fedconnect.net). The purpose of this solicitation is to award contract(s) to provide the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with support for the next generation sequencing (NGS) to complete current and future gene expression translational research to fulfill obligations to SSWR.3, CSS.4.4, CSS.6.4, and CSS.4.3 research programs. Historically, the USEPA/CCTE/GLTED-Cincinnati has used microarray and quantitative polymerase chain reaction technologies to perform these studies. However, recent advances in technology, coupled with significant decreases in supply costs, have made sequencing-based gene expression studies more informative and cost-effective. Market data suggest that this trend should continue or even improve for the foreseeable future, thereby facilitating the change to NGS. The Government anticipates award of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract with a single ordering period of 5 years. The anticipated solicitation release date is mid to late November, and the close date shall be approximately forty-five (30) days thereafter. The solicitation will be issued on a full and open competitive basis. Be advised that changes to any or all documentation is possible when the final Solicitation (SOL) is released. No hard copies will be available. All responsible sources may submit a proposal for EPA consideration. The NAICS code is 541715, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology), with a size standard of 1,000 employees. Award will be made in accordance with FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiation, using a Best Value source selection approach, price and other factors considered, where all non-price criteria, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The EPA contracting point of contact is Contracting Officer Zachary Reynolds at reynolds.zachary@epa.gov.
