The NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; PSC is 6640, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies.

The Section on Behavioral Neuroscience currently performs single-cell transcriptome sequencing using manual pipetting, which results in errors, sample loss, and batch-to-batch variance; this automated system will integrate with existing proprietary Evercode reagents to reduce manual errors and improve processing efficiency. Market research based on a sources sought notice published May 11 confirmed Parse Biosciences is the sole manufacturer. Quotations must include unit price, list price, shipping and handling costs, delivery period, prompt payment discount terms, F.O.B. point, UEI, TIN, and business size certification.
