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 a one (1) year base period to include two (2) option years with The Broad Institute, Inc., located at 415 Main Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, for the San Francisco VA Healthcare System (SFVAHCS) for its prostate cancer-specific sequencing services. These services are essential to VA Merit award study under Dr. Franklin W. Huang, MD, Ph. D.
Background:
Franklin W. Huang, MD PhD VA Merit award has tumor sequencing requirements across Aim 1 and Aim 3. The vendor has a prostate cancer-specific sequencing protocol critical to the success of both aims.
Aim 1: Utilizes previously collected tissue samples (N=60) from the SFVAHCS Department of Pathology and prospectively collected samples (n=40) from African American men undergoing radical prostatectomy. All samples are from Veterans and have already been collected at SFVAHCS.
Aim 3: Requires prospective enrollment of 20 patients (of the 40 from Aim 2) over 4 years. This aim involves generating prostate epithelial organoid lines for genetic perturbations and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis.
Scope:
Vendor shall perform prostate cancer-specific sequencing for the SFVAHCS over a 3-year period. This includes:
Minimum 30x and 60x coverage
FFPE-compatible workflow
Tumor-normal matched sequencing
FASTQ, BAM, VCF file delivery
Quality metrics (Q30, coverage uniformity, etc.)
Secure data transfer method
PCR+ Human WGS - 30x v3_FFPE_DRAGEN - 150 Samples
PCR+ Human WGS - 60x v3_FFPE_DRAGEN 150 Samples
Specific Tasks:
Perform PCR+ Human WGS - 30x v3_FFPE_DRAGEN for 150 samples
Perform PCR+ Human WGS - 60x v3_FFPE_DRAGEN for 150 samples
Ensure anonymization and secure handling of all samples
Provide tumor and normal genome sequencing specific to prostate cancer tissue
