About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the Department of Health and Human Services awarded an estimated contract to Tecan U.S. Inc. on September 24, 2021. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Center for Human Immunology requires a Tecan Fluent 780 liquid handling system to perform the proprietary SomaScan proteomic assay from SomaLogic, which profiles over 7,000 protein markers in serum and other biological samples. The sole source award is justified because the SomaScan assay is authorized only for use on Tecan's Fluent 780 platform, which provides the high throughput, multiplexing, and dynamic range needed for the Center's research characterizing normal and pathogenic immune responses through computational modeling.
Notice text
The CHI is studying the biology of the immune system on a global scale, including at the proteomic level. The CHI aims to study and characterize both the normal and pathogenic immunome. Characterizing the serum proteome is fundamental to understanding these systems. Using computational biological approaches coupled with more traditional biological experimentation, the CHI strives to build models of how the mammalian immune system responds to pathogens, disease progression, treatments, and vaccines. These models allow us to make informed predictions as to how the body will respond to immunological events. The SOMAscan Assay allows fast proteomic profiling of more than 7,000 protein markers in serum, plasma, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, conditioned media, cerebrospinal fluid, and bronchioalveolar lavage fluid. This assay is designed and authorized by the manufacturer to be performed only on the custom Tecan Fluent 780 liquid handling platform.
