About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, Department of Laboratory Medicine, intends to procure a specialized 10X Genomics Chromium instrument and associated laboratory equipment through a sole source procurement. The equipment, including a Chromium X, Accessory Kit, Dual Index Kit, Gene Expression Chips, and Sample Preparation Kits, will be used to perform single cell gene expression experiments on patient blood and bone marrow samples. The procurement is being conducted under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, which allows for single-source procurement when only one source is reasonably available. Interested parties capable of providing similar products are invited to submit capability statements by March 22, 2025 at noon EST to Emeka Onyejekwe. The NIH has determined that alternative instruments would require extensive and costly revalidation of testing procedures, justifying the sole source approach.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this contract. The total procurement involves one set of equipment, including multiple kits and accessories, with the primary vendor being 10X Genomics, Inc. The contract will be a firm-fixed price arrangement, with the place of performance located in Bethesda, MD. The equipment is manufactured under Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) as mandated by the FDA and is specifically designed for analyzing mRNA levels in single cells. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the procurement is for a highly specialized scientific instrument used in critical medical research processes. The procurement is uniquely structured to ensure precise scientific continuity and minimize potential disruptions to established laboratory protocols.

10X Genomics is the original equipment manufacturer. 10X Genomics Chromium instrument is used to perform single cell gene expression experiment by analyzing mRNA level in single cells derived from patient blood and bone marrow samples. The Chromium allows study of gene expression at the single cell level. 10X Genomics manufacturing operations are regulated by the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) as mandated by the Food and Drug Administration. This equipment is used to grow primary cellular material as part of the manufacturing process. The device is highly specialized. Genomics Chromium Instrument determine gene expression on single cells isolated from patient blood and bone marrow specimens and is recommended and validated for Department of Laboratory Medicine quality-controlled processes. To use another, make or model will result in an extensive revalidation of testing procedures which would attract cost for the government.
