Reagent Adapters Supplies, WRAIR

This Special Notice was published by the United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity and concerns their intent to award a sole source contract to Integrated DNA Technologies. The Notice seeks to procure reagent adapters supplies, including a set of 384 TruSeq-compatible duplex full length Y adapters, for the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research's Bacterial Disease Branch.

The Special Notice aims to sustain molecular sequencing research using existing government-owned Illumina whole genome sequencers, which are critical to characterizing multidrug-resistant organisms. Interested parties may submit capability statements by February 8, 2024 to demonstrate their ability to provide these products. However, the government reserves the right to not compete the procurement based on responses received. If no responses are received, USAMRAA will proceed with awarding a sole source contract to Integrated DNA Technologies, as they are currently the only vendor able to provide the required proprietary consumables.
