Questions and Answers; RFP 75D301-22-R-72357 SARS-CoV-2 Genomic Surveillance Program
7/14/2022
1. It is our understanding that large businesses can participate in this solicitation as long as an approved Small Business Subcontracting Plan exists. Please confirm this is the case.
a. CDC Response:
2. Is it required that a single entity apply for all 4 aspects of the RFP (0001, 0002, 0003 and 0004)?
a. CDC Response: Yes, each offeror must be able to complete all tasks listed in the RFP.
3. Can sequencing based methods include PAC-BIO (Section 1.2e-pg 8)?
a. CDC Response: Multiple platforms for sequencing are acceptable.
4. Can expedited sequencing methods include ClearDX (1.4c-pg 8)?
a. CDC Response: Multiple platforms for expediated sequencing are acceptable.
5. In terms of timing, we understand the pool must be reported by PCR within 24-48 hrs of getting to the lab (1.2b&c-pg 8). What is the timing on reflex for the individual samples when positives are found in a pool (1.2g-pg 8)? Or is it the intent that the individual samples from the pool just all get sequenced if a positive is found? Or is at all up for discussion/consultation?
a. CDC Response: Double collection will be done on all pooled samples. However, not all positive pools will undergo reflex testing – that will be decided in consultation with CDC subject matter experts.
