About this opportunity

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC), and Fisheries Ecology Division (FED) under the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is conducting market research for the procurement of twenty (20) Qiagen DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kits #69582. These kits will be used for DNA extraction from fin tissue samples of fish using a filter-based system. The products must be compatible with liquid handling automation on a BioRobot 3000, operate in 96 well format, utilize a silica-based system for nucleic acid purification, and allow purified product to be eluted in 100-200 microliter volume without direct handling. Interested vendors must respond by September 3, 2025, demonstrating their capability to meet all stated requirements including product specifications, delivery schedule, and the earliest possible delivery date to a US address. This is strictly a sources sought announcement for market research purposes and does not guarantee a future solicitation will be issued.

This opportunity operates under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees and has no set-aside designation, making it available to all qualified contractors. The procurement specifically targets twenty units of the specialized DNA extraction kits, indicating a relatively modest quantity for laboratory research purposes. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the notice. The government emphasizes this is purely voluntary market research with no contract award or payment for submitted information, and failure to respond will not exclude vendors from participating in any future formal solicitation. The technical specifications suggest this procurement supports ongoing marine fisheries research requiring precise DNA analysis capabilities for fish tissue samples.
