About this file
This document is a Statement of Objectives for the purchase of CLC Genomics software licenses by the USDA. The scope includes the purchase of 1 server license, 19 workbench licenses, and 5 grid node licenses over a base year and 4 option years. The purpose is to provide an integrated bioinformatics platform to support microbial profiling, pathogen and outbreak analysis, and genome finishing for NBAF bioinformatics staff. The performance objectives include timely deployment of the software licenses within 2 weeks of purchase. The deliverables and schedule outline the specific license quantities and catalog numbers for each option year. The key operating constraints are an annual budget approved by the federal government and limiting access to NBAF staff and related projects.
The related federal contract opportunity is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source the CLC Genomics software licenses to Qiagen, LLC. This is not a request for quote, but rather notification of the government's intent to issue a sole source award under FAR 6.302-1. The NAICS code is 541519, Other Computer Related Services. The period of performance is a base year plus four option years. Interested parties may respond by the due date to provide information on their capability to meet the requirement, but the government reserves the right to proceed with the sole source award.

Project Title CLC Genomics license purchase.
1.0 Purpose
“The common challenges of today's ever-growing sample volumes demand efficient bioinformatics.
Yet a lack of well integrated analytics for microbial genomics and single cell analysis leaves researchers and organizations with the burden of integrating and maintaining all the required tools for bioinformatics, statistics and visualizations to power their research.
The need for integrated analytics for research continuity is in high demand.
All analytics come fully integrated into one scalable and enterprise-ready solution that provides an alternative to CLI based open source bio-informatics tools. Data and sample-metadata management is included.
With ready-to-use workflows, bioinformaticians can shift the focus from data to discovery by providing preconfigured workflows that streamline processing of raw NGS data.
Researchers can focus on the interpretation of results, for example in the context of other samples or metadata.
The proprietary algorithms yield accurate results and are designed to save time and compute resources, and to be accessible to bioinformatics experts and non-bioinformaticians alike.”
2.0 Scope or Mission
“The scope of the requirement is to purchase 19 workbench licenses, 1 server license, and 5 grid node licenses.”
3.0 Period and Place of Performance
“The period of performance includes 1 base year, plus 4 option years. The state of performance will be determined by timely delivery and renewal of the licenses mentioned in section 2 upon their affective POP dates.”
4.0 Background
“QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench Premium delivers tools and workflows for a broad range of bioinformatics needs for microbiome analysis, isolate characterization, functional metagenomics and antimicrobial resistance characterization.
With the use of CLC Genomics Workbench, bioinformaticians from a broad range of technical experience and competency can work on microbial profiling, to assemble and annotate high quality reference genomes for critical type strains.
With the CLC Genomics suite bioinformaticians can leverage whole genome analysis for an epidemiological outbreak investigation to include pathogen and outbreak analysis.
Because of the Isolate management feature, users can accurately type and characterize microbial isolates.
In addition users will be able to monitor outbreaks by tracking pathogen transmission back to the source using modern phylogenetic tools.
Because NBAF uses next gen sequencers that produce short read lengths and repetitive genomic regions they resolve in fragmented de novo assemblies. CLC Genomics offers a proprietary module "Genome Finishing Module" that improves results and converts contigs into high quality assemblies.”
5.0 Performance Objectives
Objective 1: USDA purchases 1 CLC Genomics server license from QIAGEN.
Objective 1.1: USDA will deploy the server license to the NBAF HPC cluster no later than 2 weeks after the purchase.
Objective 2: USDA purchases 19 CLC Genomics workbench licenses from QIAGEN.
Objective 2.1: USDA will disseminate the 19 workbench licenses to NBAF bioinformatics staff with successful activation no later than 2 weeks after the purchase.
Objective 3: USDA purchases 5 CLC Genomics grid node licenses from QIAGEN.
Objective 3.1: USDA will deploy the grid node licenses to 5 compute nodes on the existing NBAF HPC cluster no later than 2 weeks after the purchase.
