About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service has issued a Special Notice regarding a sole source purchase order for Targeted DArTag Genotyping Sequencing Services. The government intends to contract with Diversity Arrays Technology Pty Ltd. (DArT) on a sole source basis to provide these DNA extraction and genotyping services for pecan and hickory samples, using a specific 3,100 SNP marker panel developed jointly by DArT and Cornell University.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide market research and determine if there are any other sources capable of meeting this requirement. The government has determined that DArT is the only vendor capable of providing these services, due to the proprietary nature of the SNP marker panel. Any responses to this notice must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, by submitting technical capabilities, pricing, and other information to show the ability to meet the government's needs by the provided response deadline of August 26, 2024. This requirement is set aside for small businesses, and follow-on work for additional sample testing in future years is expected.
