Background

· The Research Technologies Branch (RTB) offers investigators specialized support for advanced biotechnology research. RTB provides access to state-of-the-art research technology, scientific expertise, and technical support to enhance the research efforts of all NIAID intramural investigators. The RTB is in need of an updated microarray scanner that works with the already in use platform GenePix Pro software.

Justification for other than Full and Open Competition

☒41 USC 3301(a)(1) and FAR Part 13.501: Brand Name
☐41 USC 501 and FAR Part 8.405-6: Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), limited competition

Demonstration that the proposed brand name product’s salient characteristics (specific features, qualities and/or the nature of the acquisition) requires use of the authority cited.

The GenePix 4300A scanner is made to be used with the GenePix Pro software/platform already in place in the lab. Using other microarray scanners that do not utilize this software/platform would render the previous 20 years of collected data useless.
