This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (II) This solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ).

(IV) This solicitation is a total small business set aside. The associated NAICS code is 334513. The small business size standard is 500 employess. (V) This combined solicitation/synopsis is for purchase of the following commercial services: CLIN 0001 - BRAND NAME OR EQUAL TO: SEQGEN ABI 3730 DNA Analyzer - to include UPS, 3730 table in accordance with the salient characteristics. Quantity 1 each. CLIN 0002 - Shipping Charges - Quantity 1 LS (VI) Description of requirements is as follows: SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS PURPOSE: To develop stocks of sablefish and ling cod for aquaculture requires an understanding of the genetics of the fish that are being bred and their offspring after crossing. To accomplish this, we will employ genetic markers called microsatellites that are developed specifically for sablefish and ling cod. These microsatellites are developed and analyzed using capillary sequencers that can sequence and analyze the microsatellites in a large numbers of samples simultaneously. The "workhorse" in this field has been the ABI 3730 since it can automatically handle large numbers of samples and has a published track record in this field. We would like to purchase a used, refurbished ABI 3730 for this purpose. The cost of the used machine (~$100,000) is substantially lower than for a new ABI 3730 (~$270,000). There are no other capillary sequencers on the market with the technical capabilities listed below. SALIENT SPECIFICATIONS: • Provides both DNA sequencing and microsatellite analysis in the same machine • Fully automated sequencer that can load and run up to 16 plates in a 24 hour period (either 96 or 384) using an autosampler and stacker. This eliminates the need for user intervention for up to 24 or 48 hours • Has capacity for on-board reagents for up to 100 runs. • Can use either 96 or 384 well plates. • Has an optics system that does simultaneous and continuous excitation and detection of all 48 capillaries. • Has sequencing throughput capabilities of 32 (96) well plates a day of 625 bases, or 12 (96) well plates a day of 1050 bases. • Has GeneMapper software to analyze microsatellite data • On-site installation and training Refurbished equipment is acceptable with OEM warranty.
