- Description
- The National Cancer Institute(NCI), Advanced Technology Center plans to procure from Gene Machines, 935 Washington Street, San Carlos, CA 94070 for an Automated Plate Loading System for an Omnigrid Arrayer. The NCI's Advanced Technolgy Center's mission and goals are the manufactureing of quality microarrays for comprehensive gene expression analysis, provide training protocols and technical support to NCI researchers and develop new microarray technologies and applications. High density DNA micro-array technology has been used to achieve high throughput analysis of massively parallel genomic sequences. These high density DNA microarrays will be and have been used to perform expression studies, re-sequencing experiments, and genotype analysis on human, mouse, and other organisms. The Automated Plate Loading System is required to increase the throughput and to speed the array production. Without this system only a few plates can be handled at a time and larger arrays would not be possible. The Automated Plate Loading System is the only equipment known to the Government that is compatible with existing Omnigrid units. This is not a request for competitive quotations, however, if any interested party believes it can meet the above requirement, it may submit a capability statment. This statement must demonstrate that an alternate system provided will be equivalent in quality, function and compatibility. The statement and any other supporting documentation must be furnished in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow the NCI to determine if the party meets the requirement. Information must be received in the contracting office no later than 1:30 P.M. EDT(Local Washington, D.C. time) on July 18, 2002. If you have further questions please contact Cynthia Brown, Purchasing Agent (301) 402-4509. The NAICS Code 334616 and the business size standard is 500 employees.
