This is a sole source purchase order awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to Qiagen, LLC for the purchase of DNA extraction kits to support the USFWS Northeast Fishery Center (NEFC) Genetics Laboratory's environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis projects. The contract has a ceiling value of $31,102.21 and a period of performance through August 12, 2024. Qiagen was selected as the sole source provider because their extraction kits are compatible with the NEFC's existing laboratory equipment and procedures, which is essential for the timely and cost-effective completion of the NEFC's eDNA projects. This contract is not associated with a larger indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) vehicle, and there is no set-aside designation. Qiagen has previously provided a range of goods and services to support federal agencies' biomedical research, public health, law enforcement, and healthcare programs.
