Pre-Solicitation Notice for the notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation. Regional Procurement Office (RPO) - East intends to negotiate a sole source contract for one (1) year with NOVOGENE CORPORATION INC, located at 2921 Stockton Blvd Ste 1810, Sacramento, California, 95817-2305, for the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System for its multi-omics sequencing and analysis services to support VA-funded study.
Background:
Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the most common cause of spinal cord dysfunction and poses a significant health burden in Veterans. However early detection is a significant challenge, leading to the current study aimed at identifying diagnostic biomarkers that will inform treatment more targeted and individualized treatment strategies. This study will employ three different discovery-based untargeted omics tools to identify blood metabolites, circulating plasma proteins, and global transcriptional profiles of blood cells.
Scope of Work:
The current study is a multi-omics project with the following unique restraints: (1) small pilot funding (less than 50K for the entire project), (2) short-time frame (pilot funding is received and must be used within the same fiscal year, by September 30, 2026), and the lab performing the study is a clinical research lab that is uniquely situated to recruit and evaluate the specific Veteran population but lacking in the necessary equipment and skill sets (high-order wet lab molecular biology and biochemistry expertise that is required to perform initial sample processing in-house and bioinformatics expertise needed for data analysis). A fourth complication is the inherent variability in sample processing of a relatively small number of patients (no room for removal of outliers) and fact that each omics type must be comparable across samples collected at different time points based on pre-operative scheduling.
Briefly, the basic workf...
