About this file
This document is a Single Source Determination form for the Department of Commerce's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC). The agency requires the purchase of twenty (20) DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kits from Qiagen for DNA extraction from fish fin tissue samples. The kits are specifically needed for use with a BioRobot 3000 liquid handling automation system, and are the only product compatible with the agency's technical requirements. Market research confirmed that while authorized resellers exist, only Qiagen offers a 40% discount. The contract will be a firm-fixed-price type, with delivery required within one year from the award date, and the total value is redacted in the document.
The document includes certifications from multiple officials, including Michael Carroll (Administrative Officer), Aras Zygas (Chief of Staff), and Kimberla Fairley (Contracting Officer), who all verify the accuracy and completeness of the single source determination. The rationale for sole sourcing emphasizes that the Qiagen kit is the only product meeting their specific technical needs, including compatibility with their automation system, use of a silica-based purification system, and ability to elute purified product in 100-200 microliter volumes without direct handling. The procurement follows Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines.

1. Agency and contracting activity. Department of Commerce, NOAA Acquisition and Grants Office (AGO), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC), and Fisheries Ecology Division (FED).
2. Description of supplies or services required to meet agency needs (including the estimated value). Purchase of a quantity of twenty (20) DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kit (12).
Supplies are needed for DNA extraction from fin tissue samples of fishes using a filter-based system. Sufficient material for DNA extraction from individual samples is required.
Value:
Delivery Date: Within one (1) year from date of award Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price
3. Identification of the single source or the brand name to be solicited.
Name: Qiagen Address: 19300 Germantown Road, Germantown, MD 20874-1415 POC: Shawn Megonigle Email: shawn.megonigle@qiagen.com Phone: 240-686-7551
4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:
Brand Name – This particular brand name is essential to the requirement and market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs.
This particular brand name is essential to the requirement as market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs. The DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kit is the only brand that will support the mission to extract DNA from fin tissue samples of fishes using a filter-based system. It is the only product compatible with liquid handling automation on a BioRobot 3000 and in 96 well format, uses a silica-based system for nucleic acid purification, and allows purified product to be eluted in 100-200 microliter volume without direct handling.
5. Market Research.
In conducting our market research, we referred back to previous contracts 1305M319PNFFR0059, 1305M319PNFFR0247, 1305M320PNFFR0333, 1333MF23PNFFR0009 and most recently, 1305M324P0133. We did find that there are authorized resellers such as, Government Scientific Source, Inc., but they are not able to offer the 40% discount Qiagen is offering.
