Opportunity Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Research and Development, Regional Procurement Office East, intends to award a sole source contract to Azenta Life Sciences for non-human Sanger Method DNA sequencing. This requirement supports the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System’s medical research studies by determining the DNA sequences of laboratory-generated samples. The contractor will perform standard DNA sequencing at a per-sample rate, utilizing primers provided either by the VA lab or the contractor to verify the quality and exact type of non-human DNA. This action is conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, as only one responsible source is deemed capable of satisfying agency requirements.

The scope of work involves the VA shipping samples via courier to the contractor’s facility. Results must be delivered via a password-protected electronic portal within two business days of the contractor receiving the samples. Security requirements include mandatory annual privacy training for contractor personnel through the VA Training Management System. The performance of these services will occur at both the contractor’s site and the VA facility in Ann Arbor.

This special notice, identified under solicitation number 36C24E25R0003, is classified under NAICS 541380 Testing Laboratories and Services and PSC Q301 MEDICAL- LABORATORY TESTING. Although the VA intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, responsible sources may submit a capability statement and supporting documentation to Michael Haydo by the response deadline of January 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST. The government maintains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the requirement based on any received responses. One attachment, a document titled 36C24E25R0003.docx, was posted with the notice on January 8, 2025.

Original Description

The Veteran s Administration (VA) Office of Research and Development, Regional Procurement Office East in Pittsburgh, PA intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Azenta Life Sciences based in South Plainfield, NJ on behalf of the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. The requirement is to provide Sanger Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing for planned medical research studies. The specific work to be performed includes Sanger DNA sequencing. The purpose is to determine DNA sequences of lab samples for research purposes. Overview: The VA Ann Arbor research lab is requesting Sanger DNA sequencing for laboratory generated DNA. The purpose is to determine DNA sequences of non-human samples used for research purposes. The lab will send DNA samples to the contractor. In addition, the laboratory may provide mixed DNA primers for customized sequencing or request standard primers provided by the contractor. The DNA will be shipped from the VA lab to the contractor by courier. Deliverables: The contractor shall perform standard DNA sequencing at a rate per sample and will report sequence data to the lab via a password protected site. The contractor shall sequence DNA received from the VA Lab, specifically utilizing the Sanger Method, to break down the non-human DNA sample to ensure the quality and type are exact. The contractor lab will use primers to attach to the DNA to break it down and verify its quality. The sequencing is expected to be completed and responses available through protected electronic portal for the VA within two (2) business days after vendor receives the samples. Security: The following training is required through the VA Training Management System: TMS 20939 GAP privacy, or TMS 10203 training is required on an annual basis. The requirement will take place at the contractors facility and the VA facility in Ann Arbor. The sole source is pursuant to FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, however; any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement and supporting documentation to the contracting office no later than Tuesday, Jan 14, 2025, (10:00 AM, EST). Interest/capability statements may be sent to Michael Haydo at [email protected]. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
