Procurement:
1. HiSeq 2000 to HiSeq 2500 Upgrade, Catalog Number: SY-401-1003, Quantity: One (1). 2. Shipping and Insurance.
BACKGROUND:
The HiSeq2500 offers two modes, Rapid Run and High Throughput, which is actually just a standard HiSeq2000 run. The Rapid Run mode takes only one day to produce 50 base reads, so this is ideal for ChIP-Seq and similar projects requiring short reads. Transitioning from Rapid to High Throughput is very time consuming as it requires a full day of washes at each transition. The HiSeq 2500 Sequencer system is compatible with existing equipment that is being used in the NHGRI/NIH Sequencing Center, for example, the c-Bot cluster, HiSeq 2000, Genome Analyzer and MiSeq systems which are all stand-alone sequencing systems manufactured and procured from
JUSTIFICATION:
The NISC lab requires an upgrade of a sequencer from HiSeq2000 to HiSeq2500. This is the oldest Illumina HiSeq sequencer, and while not truly old it is has components not compatible with the new ver 4 chemistry. It would still be quite useful as a HiSeq2500 however. We use the Rapid mode of a HiSeq 2500 exclusively for sort reads (51 bases) that run only on ver 3 chemistry. While NISC have two other HiSeq2500s they are very busy running in the high throughput mode. Switching between modes is quite time consuming and inefficient, so we plan to dedicate this upgraded instrument for Rapid runs.
Contractor Requirements:
* The Contractor's machine shall produce data for a Paired-end 150 base run in 3 days. * The Contractor's machine shall support Rapid Runs. * The Contractor's machine shall continue to support version 3 chemistry.
Government Responsibilities:
* The Government will coordinate with Illumina Service Engineer to set a convenient time for the upgrades. Ensure that instruments are available for upgrade when the engineer arrives.
REGULATORY AUTHORITY:
This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart 13.106-1(b) Soliciting from a single source, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and the Small Business Size Standard is 500 Employees. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13, simplified acquisition procedures, therefore the requirements of FAR Part 6 B Competitive Requirements are not applicable (FAR Part 6.001). The resultant Contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05-74 (
