The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research (CCR), Radiation Oncology Branch (ROB) plans to procure, on a sole source basis, SomaScan 7K Assay Analysis Services from: SomaLogic, Inc. 2945 Wilderness Place Boulder, CO 80301 The response close date of the notice for this requirement is in accordance with FAR 5.203(b). This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 12 – Acquisition for Commercial Items and will be made pursuant to the authority in FAR Part 13.106-1 (b)(1), and is exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6. The North American Industry Classification System code is 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) and the business size standard is $16.5M. NCI’s ROB has previously utilized SomaLogic Inc’s 7K SomaScan V4.1 in support of ongoing research involving proteomic analyses for the identification of radiation biomarkers in small-volume samples from murine and human plasma. The current study is a continuation of previous efforts performed by SomaLogic Inc in their lab, utilizing their SomaScan V.4.1 platform and experimental protocols and data normalization processes. As such SomaLogic is the only vendor able to maintain scientific comparability of the previously generated data related to ROB’s ongoing research. Therefore, SomaLogic is the only vendor with the required technical capabilities needed to maintain scientifically comparable results with related past efforts and studies utilizing 7K SomaScan V4.1. Inconsistency in resulting data would lead to unacceptable delays and substantial duplication of cost to the NCI, not expected to be recovered through competition. This notice is not a request for competitive quotations. However, if any interested party, especially a small business, believes it can meet the Government’s needs, it may submit a proposal or quote for the Government to consider. The response and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient details to allow NCI to determine if the party can perform the requirement. Responses to this notice shall be submitted via email to Contracting Officer, John Russell, at John.Russell3@nih.gov by no later than 11:00 A.M. EST on Tuesday, December 20, 2022 (12/29/22). A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. To receive an award, Contractors must be registered and have valid certification through SAM.GOV. Please reference notice number 75N91023Q00014 in all correspondence. ***Please reference the attached Statement of Work for more details pertaining to the nature of the work to be performed.***
