Registration may be completed and information regarding the registration process may be obtained at http://www.sam.gov.

The purpose of this solicitation is to award contract(s) to provide the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with support for the next generation sequencing (NGS) to complete current and future gene expression translational research to fulfill obligations to SSWR.3, CSS.4.4, CSS.6.4, and CSS.4.3 research programs. Historically, the USEPA/CCTE/GLTED-Cincinnati has used microarray and quantitative polymerase chain reaction technologies to perform these studies. However, recent advances in technology, coupled with significant decreases in supply costs, have made sequencing-based gene expression studies more informative and cost-effective. Market data suggest that this trend should continue or even improve for the foreseeable future, thereby facilitating the change to NGS. The Government anticipates award of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract with a single ordering period of 5 years. The anticipated solicitation release date is mid to late November, and the close date shall be approximately forty-five (30) days thereafter. The solicitation will be issued on a full and open competitive basis. Be advised that changes to any or all documentation is possible when the final Solicitation (SOL) is released. No hard copies will be available. All responsible sources may submit a proposal for EPA consideration. The NAICS code is 541715, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology), with a size standard of 1,000 employees. Award will be made in accordance with FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiation, using a Best Value source selection approach, price and other factors considered, where all non-price criteria, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The EPA contracting point of contact is Contracting Officer Zachary Reynolds at reynolds.zachary@epa.gov.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
