The USGS Wetland Aquatic Research Center is requesting Quotes from Diversity Arrays
Technology ,Pty. Ltd. to set up a BPA for five years The criteria for this BPA is
no minimum or maximum amount or number of samples per year or the number BPA calls
per year. However, there is a NTE amount of $109,000.00 for five years total. All
orders will be processed from separate funded PRs as BPA calls and those orders
will be fixed price contracts. No funding obligated for BPA. There is no options
to exercise for this BPA. The U.S. Geological Survey has multiple molecular-based
projects focused on taxonomy and gene flow of various vertebrate species. The
project will require sample preparation, sequencing, and preliminary bioinformatics
analysis of DNA sequences of various vertebrate species. Due to the uncertainty of
the number of samples that will need to be sequenced each year, the request for
number of samples is not able to be defined. In order to have the flexibility to
process samples as they are available (be they more or less each year), we would
like to set up a BPA for five years Please provide per sample prices for each year
for any analysis. That way system will calculate the total by number of samples for
each order.All work shall be performed IAW the SOW attached.
