About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) that addresses clarifications on a federal contract opportunity.
The document clarifies two key points: First, regarding gene analysis requirements, NIA does not have a fixed list of ten genes of interest. Instead, the scope encompasses over 150 probes for checking approximately 150 different genes across more than 200 mouse lines, with this serving as a minimum threshold. The document specifies that vendors are expected to assist NIA in developing probes for new gene identification as additional genes of interest emerge. Second, the document clarifies that the requirement for a "drop box for samples to be placed for pickup" is not a hard requirement, providing vendors with flexibility in sample handling procedures.

Questions:
1. Can we please get a list of the ten genes of interest?
A: There are no ten genes of interest; NIA has over 150 probes, that equates to checking for 150 different genes for over 200 plus mouse lines. This is at a minimum, and at any given time there could be a new gene of interest, in which it is expected the vendor assist NIA in developing a probe for new gene identification.
2. Is the requirement for a "drop box for samples to be placed for pickup” a hard requirement?
A: No
