This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation number is 75N94025Q00247 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation/contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2025-06. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 325414 and the business size standard is 1250e. However, this solicitation is not set aside for total small business. This acquisition is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) is seeking a vendor who can provide the following new 10X Genomics products: 1. Product# 1000695 - GEM-X Universal 5' Gene Expression v3, 4 samples – Qty (7) EA 2. Product# 1000698 - Chromium GEM-X Single Cell 5' Chip Kit v3, 4 chips – Qty (4) EA These reagents allow for the determination of the genes expressed by specific single cells. This allows knowledge of the cell expressing the genes compared to all of the other cells in the sample. This requires that the lab use the single cell RNA sequencing kit from 10X Genomics because their kit is currently being utilized in completing this study. These reagents are proprietary and can only be used with the existing platform that has been in use for the past 2 years. The existing hardware equipment can only use the reagents from 10X Genomics because only their reagents are compatible. Furthermore, it would be difficult to compare the results from the first part of the study with the second part without using the same vendor/products. Not purchasing the reagents from 10x Genomics would cause years of study data to become obsolete thus setting back research progress and creating additional time and cost to bring research back to its current state.
