The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate and award a contract without providing for full and open competition (Including brand-name) to: Hologic Sales and Service, LLC/ Diagenode, LLC 400 Morris Avenue, Suite 101; Denville, NJ 07834, USA NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 423450 with a Size Standard $500. REGULATORY AUTHORITY The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2026-01, March 13, 2026. This acquisition is conducted under the procedures as prescribed in FAR subpart 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures at an amount not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold ($350,000). STATUTORY AUTHORITY This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.106-1 (b) (1), Soliciting from a single source and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. Contracts awarded using FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures are exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6-Competition Requirements. GENERAL INFORMATION Title: Purchase of Bioruptor Pico sonication device Background Information: The Laboratory of Biochemistry and Genetics is currently engaged in high-throughput genomic and epigenomic studies that require precise and reproducible sample preparation. A critical component of workflows involves the shearing of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), and chromatin to specific fragment sizes suitable for next-generation sequencing (NGS), chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), and other downstream applications. To achieve optimal results, it is essential to utilize a sonication device that offers consistent performance, scalability, and compatibility with low sample volumes. The Bioruptor� Pico sonication device is uniquely positioned to meet the Government�s needs. This all-in-one shearing system is optimized for processing micro-volumes ranging from 5 �l to 2 ml, accommodating a wide array of sample types, including deoxyribonucleic acid, ribonucleic acid, and chromatin. Its ability to simultaneously sonicate 6 to 12 samples ensures high-throughput capabilities, which is crucial for our large-scale studies. The device's advanced timing control and integrated cooling system provide precise temperature regulation, preserving sample integrity and ensuring reproducible fragmentation profiles. Furthermore, the Bioruptor� Pico's compatibility with various sample types, including formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues and plant samples, enhances its versatility and applicability across different research projects. Its user-friendly design and robust performance have been validated through numerous peer-reviewed publications, underscoring its reliability in generating high-quality data. In summary, the Bioruptor� Pico sonication device aligns with the laboratory's needs for efficient, reproducible, and scalable sample preparation. Investing in this technology will not only streamline workflows but also enhance the quality and consistency of our research outcomes.
