Description

Notice of Intent to Sole Source for 10X Genomics, Inc. Reagents Department (CCMD) Product Service Code: 6550 NAICS Code: 325413 Place of Performance: Bethesda, MD 20892 POTS: 25-007587 Description This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued, and quotations will not be requested. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of Purchasing and Contracts on behalf of the Critical Care Medicine Department (CCMD) intends to award a firm fixed price Purchase Order to 10X Genomics, Inc, located in Pleasanton, California 94588-3260 on a sole source basis to provide 10X Genomics reagents. The Critical Care Medicine Department is currently working on a project investigating the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on human brain tissues and cerebral organoid tissues at the single-cell level. The study utilizes 10X Genomics Dual Index TS Set A 96 rxn Kits, GEM-X Flex Sample Preparation v2 Kits, GEM-X Flex Gene Expression Chip, 4 chips kits, and GEM-X Flex Gene Expression Human 4 samples. These proprietary kits contain specialized reagents designed for the isolation and amplification of uniquely barcoded ribonucleic acid (RNA). The 10X Genomics platform uses microfluidics to separate individual cells into an emulsion with single gel beads and labels the RNA from each cell with a unique barcode for partitioning into libraries for sequencing. The Critical Care Medicine Department has independently modified and validated the recommended protocols provided by 10X Genomics to be compliant with �Biosafety Level 3� (BSL-3 requirements). There are no substitutions of equipment or reagents for this study and used under the existing protocols. Any change of equipment or reagents would cause a stoppage of work, and the substitutions would have to undergo a re-validation process that could take up to one year or more. This ultimately would negatively impact patient care by causing a delay and stoppage of work that would impact patient care and the research process. 10X Genomics, Inc kits are proprietary and are the only approved kits to be used in this research project. 10X Genomics is the sole manufacturer of the platform and single cell sequencing reagents. The below items are required for this action: Description/Product Code/Quantity: Dual Index Kit TS Set A, 96 rxn / Product Code: 1000251 / QTY: 1 GEM-X Flex Sample Preparation v2 Kit / Product Code: 1000781 / QTY: 1 GEM-X Flex Gene Expression Chip Kit, 4 chips / Product Code: 1000791 / QTY: 1 GEM-X Flex Gene Expression Human, 4 samples / Product Code: 1000792 / QTY: 4 This acquisition is being conducted using policies unique to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 � Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1), For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstance of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. Contracts awarded using FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures are exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6-Competition Requirements. Interested Parties: Interested parties capable of providing the same or similar products or services described in this notice may submit a capability statement outlining their capability to perform the described work. Capability Statements must be received within the time set forth in this synopsis to be considered by the Government. The determination to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Comments: Comments to this announcement, referencing this posting number on the email subject line, may be submitted to the CC, Office of Purchasing and Contracts, prior to the closing date specified in this announcement, electronically to the attention of Tasha Lowe Contract Specialist, lowet2@mail.nih.gov by the due date June 21, 2025, (3:00 pm EST) and time marked in this notice.
