About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Communications Branch has issued a Special Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract to Qiagen, LLC for the purchase of DNA extraction kits. The agency intends to make this award under the authority of FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii) for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
The purpose of this sole source award is to acquire extraction kits for the USFWS Northeast Fishery Center (NEFC) Genetics Laboratory in Lamar, PA. These kits are required to support the NEFC's eDNA analysis projects, which involve the detection of native and aquatic invasive species. Qiagen is the only vendor that can provide the validated extraction kits compatible with the NEFC's existing laboratory equipment and procedures. The USFWS states that using Qiagen products is essential for the timely and cost-effective completion of these sensitive eDNA projects, which are integral to the agency's mission. While this is not a competitive solicitation, any interested parties that believe they can meet the requirement may submit a statement of capabilities by the June 28, 2024 deadline. However, the government will not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with preparing and submitting the capability statement.
