About this opportunity
Paragraph 1:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole source contract to Integrated Data Technologies (IDT) for proprietary kits for whole genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2. The CDC requires spike primer sets and amplicon panel products to perform sequencing for surveillance of viruses and monitor vaccine efficacy. IDT is the only manufacturer that makes the "XGEN" technology validated by CORVD and DSLR. Validation of a new kit would take up to 12 months, hindering the CDC's work, so this sole source contract is needed. Interested parties may submit capability statements within 15 days, but a competitive procurement is at the discretion of the government.
Paragraph 2:
This opportunity is not set aside for any specific business size or type. IDT is the only identified potential contractor, as they are the sole source capable of fulfilling this requirement. The contract value and quantity details are not provided. The procurement will be conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for supplies or services where the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source.
Notice text
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole source contract to
Integrated Data Technologies
1710 COMMERCIAL PARK
CORALVILLE, IA 52241
This sole source award will be for proprietary kits for whole genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a requirement for spike primer sets and amplicon panel products. CDC needs to perform sequencing for surveillance of viruses to monitor for vaccine efficacy and assist in vaccine formulation decisions.
IDT is the only manufacturer that makes the “XGEN” technology that has been validated by CORVD and DSLR. All laboratories at CDC are required to validate research, surveillance, and diagnostic assays. Performing validation of a new kit would take upwards of 12 months to approval, which would hinder the program's work for an entire year.
This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Integrated Data Technologies is the only source capable of fulfilling this requirement. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations / responses received within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any response should be emailed to contract specialist at ttu3@cdc.gov. Questions or responses will not be accepted by phone.
