VII. Justification for other than Full and Open Competition
| ☒ | 41 USC 1901(e)(2) and FAR Part 13.106-1(b): Brand Name |
| ☐ | 41 USC 501 and FAR Part 8.405-6: Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), limited competition brand name |
1. Describe why only the requested supply/service will meet the government’s needs.
The products in this order are lanthanide metal conjugated antibodies against human immunological cell surface and intracellular signaling proteins. The antibodies must be conjugated to metals with >97% isotopic purity to reduce noise in the readout of the assay. The reagents must be compatible for use in CyTOF and be formulated using mass spectrometry grade reagents due to the sensitivity of the CyTOF machine and Helio System. Also, included in the order are metal conjugating kits, barcoding kits, and labeling kits made specially for this machine. Materials must be of the same purity and give the user the ability to conjugate purified lanthanide isotopes to human IgG antibodies. These kits and antibodies have been optimized for the assays in use within the lab. The use of an alternate kit would require the lab to readapt their protocols and previous data generated by the lab would be rendered useless. Fluidigm is the manufacturer of the needed supplies.
