Tender Details

Notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation.
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract with:
ZYMO RESEARCH CORPORATION
17062 Murphy Avenue Irvine,
California 92614, United States
MNUYHHMKG8N9
This is not a solicitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs, VA Bedford Healthcare System intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Zymo Research Corporation for Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS) services for DNA methylation profiling of 269 post-mortem human choroid plexus tissue samples.
Description of Supplies/Services: RRBS services on 269 post-mortem human choroid plexus tissue samples, including sample handling and QC assessment, bisulfite conversion, library preparation and QC assessment, sequencing (~30 million read pairs per sample), and raw data alignment, methylation calling, and genome browser track generation.
This requirement supports an ongoing VA research study requiring DNA methylation data from choroid plexus tissue that is directly comparable, at the laboratory-batch level, to an existing dorsolateral prefrontal cortex methylation dataset previously generated in its entirety by Zymo Research Corporation for the same study. Introducing a second laboratory to generate the choroid plexus data would create a vendor-of-origin technical confound that is inseparable from the biological comparison the study is designed to detect, and this confound cannot be reliably resolved through statistical correction after the fact. Zymo Research Corporation is the only vendor that can generate this data using the same laboratory, personnel, and protocol as the existing dataset, thereby preserving the scientific validity of the planned cross-tissue comparison.
The contractor will provide the required services. Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to Contracting Opportunities SAM.gov. A Sou...
