The solicitation/contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 05-13. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 334516, and size standard 500 employees are used for this requirement.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), Operations Acquisition (OA) intends to purchase a Solexa, Inc., brand Genome Analysis System. The brand name determination is based on the fact that the Solexa clonal single molecular array technologies combined with their sequencing by synthesis (SBS) technique on the Solexa IG Genome analyzer can identify perfectly 25 bp sequence tag from each CHIP DNA molecule in the library and therefore allow the Laboratory of Molecular Immunology (LMI), to identify the chromatin locus that is associated with the modification. Without this efficient identification of endogenous chromatin regions, the LMI will not be able to complete the studies on the function of the chromatin in regulation of genome expression. Solexa Inc., is the manufacturer of the equipment and accessories that meets the government?s minimum needs. Therefore, it is in the governments best interest of the Government to purchase the Solexa brand to support its on- going research. The government?s estimated delivery is 150 days after receipt of order. The items to be purchase are: Item (1) Solexa Genetic Analyzer, Part # 0100-0007, quantity one (1) each, the system consists of the following specifications: The Solexa 1G Genetic Analyzer, Dell Workstation Computer, 19" flat monitor, system software, installation kits and standards. Item (2) Solexa Cluster Station, Part #0100-0004, quantity one (1) each, the system consists of the following specifications: The Solexa Cluster Station, Dell Optiplex Computer, 15" flat panel monitor, systems software. Both systems require installation kits, standard installation, training and a one (1) year warranty parts and labor. The system shall have the following features: The Solexa clonal single molecular array technology combined with sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) technique on the Solexa 1G Genome analyzer can identify perfectly 25 bp sequence tag from each ChIP DNA molecule in the library and therefore allow the Laboratory of Molecular Immunology (LML) to identify the chromatin locus that is associated with the modification. Without this efficient identification of endogenous chromatin regions, the researchers are not able to complete the studies on the function of a chromatin in regulation of genome expression.
