About this file
This solicitation requests quotes for clinical whole genome sequencing services. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases requires whole genome sequencing for 800 samples with a six week turnaround time, and 10 additional samples requiring a three week rapid turnaround time. Services must include delivery of FASTQ files via a cloud-based platform meeting NIH security standards, quality control reporting on sequencing metrics including coverage and contamination screening, and use of Fluidigm SNP Trace for identity analysis. Quotes are due by September 9, 2021 and the firm fixed price purchase order will be awarded based on technical capability and price to the responsible contractor. The place of performance is the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

1. Question: The RFQ mentions the return of raw FASTQ data as well as QC metrics and contamination metrics on the specimens. However, it does not mention variant calls or clinical reporting. Are variant call outputs expected to be returned and are clinical reports expected to be issued as part of the SOW for this RFQ?
Response: Variant call outputs are accepted but not required. Clinical reports are not expected to be issued as part of this SOW.
1. Question: Is utilizing Fluidigm SNP Trace a requirement, or can other methods be used?
Response: Utilizing Fluidigm SNP Trace is a requirement.
