STATEMENT OF WORK FOR SUPPLY OR SERVICE

143041-24-0019

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 BACKGROUND:

The NWFSC provides scientific and technical support to NMFS for the management, conservation, and wise use of the Northwest region's marine and anadromous resources. The NWFSC Conservation Biology Division is interested in the conservation of marine species.

Obtaining next generation sequencing service is needed to fulfill our research objectives to evaluate genetic diversity in marine organisms, from corals to anadromous salmonids.

1.2 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this requisition is to obtain high quality next generation sequencing data, as described in the technical specifications.

2.0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

The services required include 2 sequencing only lanes on the Illumina NovaSeq. Metrics on output and numbers of reads for Illumina sequencing should conform to Q30 greater than 80% (Q30 > 80%).

Sequencing libraries (indexed) will be submitted as two pools, to be sequenced in 2x150 bp format on the Illumina NovaSeqS4 in a single lane for each pool. The pools may be submitted one at a time. Once sequencing libraries are submitted to the vendor by the NWFSC, quality control and quantitation of each sample is to be evaluated by the sequencing facility. If samples are low quantity or poor quality as deemed by this QC at the sequencing facility, the sequencing facility shall notify the NWFSC to allow staff at NWFSC to decide whether or not to sequence the library in question. Data are to be de-multiplexed by the vendor given user-provided index to library details.

After sequencing is completed for each set of samples submitted for the above, raw DNA sequence data will be provided to the NWFSC Molecular Genetics laboratory in a format that is downloadable from our user account (or by external hard drive), within 30 days of submitting the samples or libraries for sequencing. Raw Illumina sequencing data shall consist of flat text files containing genetic sequence and quality scores (fastq format), provided by the vendor for each lane of data immediately after sequencing. We analyze the data iteratively as we get each lane of sequencing, each lane informing the next, and once we have reached a target per sample sequence depth, the final run(s) for each project will contain the data we need to do the analysis for our management question.

3.0 DELIVERABLE SCHEDULE:

Illumina sequence data is to be delivered as FASTQ files of raw data immediately after sequencing each lane submitted by the NWFSC, and within 30 days of submission of the sample to the online queue. All sequencing must be completed no later than March 31, 2024.

4.0 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

Jan 15, 2024 – March 31, 2024

5.0 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

Offsite at vendor, with data produced transferred to the Northwest Fisheries Science Center.

7.0 SECURITY

52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Sep 2023)

NOTICE TO OFFERORS: Instructions for submitting quotations under this request for quote must be followed. Failure to provide all information to aid in the evaluation may be considered non-responsive.

Offers that are non-responsive may be excluded from further evaluation and rejected without further notification to the offeror.

The offeror will submit a quote for the items in section (V) as listed in the attached Statement of Work.

1. Submit PDF or Microsoft Word format quotations to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the time specified in the solicitation. Email quotes are required and can be sent to

SHANA.COCHRAN@NOAA.GOV

2. Offeror shall have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM found at https://sam.gov/content/home) in order to provide a quote and be eligible for award. Must provide their UEI #/CAGE CODE with their quote.

3. Provide all evaluation criteria in accordance with FAR 52.212-2 in this package. Offerors who do not provide all evaluation criteria will not be accepted.

4. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of them or their capability.

mailto:michelle.walton@noaa.gov https://sam.gov/content/home

5. Quote shall include at least two references for similar services including the phone number, full address, and e-mail address. References will be checked. The Government will use its discretion to determine the sources of past performance information used in the evaluation, and the information may be obtained from references provided by the offeror, the agency’s knowledge of contractor performance, other government agencies or commercial entities, or past performance databases, and will be based on responsiveness, quality, and customer services.

The following minimum information shall be provided within contractor submitted references:

• Contract Number/Order Number

• Date of Contract Award

• Name and Address of the Government Agency or Commercial Entity

• Contract Type

• Annual Contract Cost

• Period of Performance

• Description of Work

• Valid name, phone number and e-mail address of Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative or Prime Contractor (if company was subcontracted).

• In the description of work, quotes should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the similarity of the contract, in terms of scope and size to the requirements of the solicitation for purposes of the relevancy review. Additionally, offerors should provide a brief description of work performed and results achieved; description of the methodology, tools, and processes utilized.

In addition to the information requested above, offerors shall complete Blocks 1 through 4 on Page 1 of the Past Performance Questionnaire. The offeror is required to send the Past Performance Questionnaire to those Government and commercial activities provided by the offeror in their submission and e-mail the completed survey form directly to SHANA COCHRAN at SHANA.COCHRAN@noaa.gov by the DUE DATE OF THIS SOLICITATION.

The Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the due date of the solicitation and to contact references for verification or additional information. Offerors are cautioned that the Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any sources including sources outside of the Government. The Government may obtain whatever information it deems most relevant to the required effort by telephonic and/or written inquiry. This information may include SAM.gov information or past performance information from any source.

6. If proposed subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the two (2) of its most relevant contracts or efforts and type of work to be done by the subcontractor on the solicitation requirement must be stated. The offeror’s submittal shall clearly detail the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. A Past Performance example which does not clearly detail the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform will not be evaluated.

If the prime offeror or intended subcontractor/partner submits a past performance example in which it served as a subcontractor, the prime/sub/partner shall clearly detail the work that it performed and the size (dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A Past Performance example that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the subcontractor effort will not be evaluated.

Subcontractor performance (either the offeror's own subcontractor experience or proposed subcontractor’s experience) of major or critical aspects of this requirement will be considered the same as prime contractor past performance information for the vendor. Failure of offerors to provide the required information and level of specificity will result in the contract reference not being evaluated.

“THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR NON-RECEIPT OF QUOTES. IT IS THE CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY TO REQUEST AND RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION OF THE QUOTE RECEIPT”.

52.212-2 Evaluation- Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

Offers will be evaluated based on price and the factors set forth in paragraph (a). The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The evaluation will consider the Non-Price Technical Solution (Technical Approach and Past Performance) to be significantly more important than price. However, as quotes are determined to be more equal in the non-price evaluation factor, price becomes more important and may become the determining factor for award. If, at any stage of the evaluation, all vendors are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, Non-Price Technical Solutions, price could become the factor in determining which vendor will receive the award.

The Government intends to evaluate the quotes and award a purchase order based on the Offeror’s initial quote; therefore, the Offeror’s initial quote should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a Non- Price Technical Solution and price standpoint.

The Government reserves the right not to award a purchase order depending on the quality of the quote(s) submitted and the availability of funds. Furthermore, the Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities or omissions in quotes received.

The Government may make award to other than the lowest-priced Offeror or the Offeror with the highest technical rating if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would result in the best value to the Government. The Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve only slightly superior performance capability.

Paragraph (a) is hereby completed as follows: Evaluation factors are listed in the order of importance and all factors are more important than price:

1. Technical Approach and Capability.

The Offeror’s overall technical approach will be evaluated to assess the Government's level of confidence in the Offeror’s understanding of, approach to, and ability to successfully perform the requirements as described in the Statement of Work. Provide a detailed description of the company’s experience performing similar services. A detailed technical approach write-up describing how the Offeror will perform this service is required to be submitted with the quote regardless of whether a site visit was made or not. The technical approach write-up must not be a reiteration of the Statement of Work, but how your company plans on performing the tasks listed in the attached Statement of Work. (i.e.

performance checklists, anticipated number of employees, anticipated hours at the facility and/or confirmation of supplies being provided, etc.)

2. Past Performance.

The Offeror's past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, cost management, communications between contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction. The Government will use its discretion to determine the sources of past performance information used in the evaluation, and the information may be obtained from references provided by the Offeror, the agency’s knowledge of Offeror performance, other government agencies or commercial entities, or past performance databases, and will be based on responsiveness, quality, and customer services. Quote shall include at least two references for similar and relevant services including the phone number, full address, and e-mail address.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history, or for whom past performance information is either not available or has not been submitted to the Government, will receive a neutral rating for past performance.

3. Offeror must perform quality control on all libraries for sequencing

4. Offeror must have experience with similar sequencing projects

5. Offeror must sequence samples or libraries submitted by the NWFSC on Illumina sequencing platform(s), producing a minimum amount of data, as outlined in the statement of work.

6. Offeror must facilitate sample submission, tracking, and data delivery

7. Offeror must provide raw data from the instrument FASTQ or BAM format, downloadable from a password protected website, or delivered by external hard drive.

8. Offeror must sequence as few as a single library from the NWFSC pending enough samples submitted from other sources to run a full flow cell, as per the statement of work.

9. Offeror must provide raw data from services within 30 days of receipt of the samples.

10. Price. The quoted prices will be evaluated but not scored. The Government will evaluate the price quote for completeness and reasonableness in relation to the RFQ requirements.

Quoted prices must be entirely compatible with the Non-Price Technical Solution.

The Government intends to award a trade-off, single, firm fixed-price purchase order on an all or some basis with payment terms of Net 30.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
