About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of a GridION Sequencing Device Mk1 with assurance and standard support for 12 months. The agency intends to award a sole source contract to Oxford Nanopore Technologies Inc. under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) authority, having determined that Oxford Nanopore is the sole provider of this specialized sequencing equipment. The procurement will be conducted by NASA/NSSC with performance taking place at NASA Langley Research Center. This acquisition falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and will utilize commercial item procurement procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide other organizations an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities and qualifications to potentially make this procurement competitive rather than sole source. Interested parties must submit written responses detailing their qualifications to the contracting officers no later than 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on August 15, 2025, giving them only two days from the posting date to respond. Oral communications are not acceptable, and all submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis. The government retains full discretion in deciding whether to proceed with sole source procurement or open the requirement to competition based on the responses received. Organizations seeking to participate must demonstrate they can provide the specific GridION sequencing device and associated support services that NASA requires for its research operations.
