About this opportunity
The USDA/ARS intends to award a Firm Fixed Price sole source contract to the Wisconsin Crop Innovation Center (WCIC) to generate malting barley lines. The objective is to procure the synthesis and assembly of two transformation vectors, AtEIL3OX and HvMKK3RNAi, transform them into Agrobacteria, and then transform the malting barley varieties GemCraft and Conrad. The contractor will deliver T1 seed from up to 6 independent transformation events per vector. The goals are to test whether high expression of the transcription factor AtEIL3 results in greater leaf area and earlier maturity, and to silence the HvMKK3 gene to understand its effects on preharvest sprouting and malt quality. This is a sole source contract under the simplified acquisition threshold, with a 18-month period of performance. Interested parties must submit responses by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on June 24, 2024.
This opportunity is not set aside, and no solicitation package will be issued. The NAICS code is 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) with a size standard of 1,000 employees, and the PSC code is B529 (Special Studies/Analysis- Scientific Data). The government will determine whether to compete this proposed contract based on the responses received, and no telephone requests will be honored.
