Description

Solicitation Number: FDA-SOL-14-1135033 Notice Type: Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Synopsis: Added: July 25, 2014 This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 and supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This synopsis is to notify contractors that the government intends to issue a Purchase Order on a Brand Name or equal basis in accordance with FAR Part 13.5 for the following, under simplified acquisition procedures. The Request for Quotation number is FDA-SOL-14-1135033. Provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-72 are incorporated into this request. It is the contractor's responsibility to be familiar with the applicable clauses and provisions. The provisions and clauses may be accessed in full text at www.acquisition.gov/far. The NAICS code is 423430. All qualified business interests are encouraged to submit a quotation. The purpose of this action is to procure CLC Genomics Workbench Network Licenses and Microbial finishing, and twelve (12) months of maintenance and support for both licenses, brand name or equal to salient characteristics below. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requests quotation responses from qualified sources capable of providing the resources mentioned above (brand name or equal to product) within the time frame specified. 1. Statement of Need The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a regulatory agency with responsibility for the safety of food for humans and animals and the safety and efficacy of drug, devices and other medical products. In support of this regulatory mission, CVM runs a laboratory at the Office of Research in Laurel, MD which conducts analysis using scientific instruments. The Division of Animal and Food Microbiology (DAFM) conduct genomic researches to study the mechanism and evolution of antimicrobial resistance. These studies involve whole genome and plasmid sequencing using next generation sequencing technologies, and require high performance computing accelerated assembly of high-throughput sequencing data as well as a large number of downstream analysis tools. Bioinformatics software with user friendly and intuitive interface essentially takes high-throughput analysis away from hardcore bioinformatics programmers doing command-line scripts, and facilitates its use by microbiologist and biologist. In order to support these on-going genomic researches at the Office of Research, a cross-platform bioinformatics software to analyze next generation data generated from different sequencing platforms including Illumina MiSeq personal sequencer, Roche 454, Ion Torrent, Solid and Sanger is required. The Bioinformatics software will be used for analyzing and visualizing next generation sequencing data, while also supporting and integrating with other existing sequencing analysis workflows. The software must support read mapping as well as de novo assembly of hybrid data and genome finishing module. The read mapping functionality must support both short and long reads, paired reads, gapped and un¬gapped alignments, and complex genomes with many repeats. The de novo assembly must support both short and long reads, paired reads, mate pair and Sanger sequencing. 2. Statement of Work (SOW)/Performance Work Statement (PWS) In order to continue work underway we need comprehensive cross-platform bioinformatics software to analyze and visualize next generation data generated from different sequencing platforms including Illumina MiSeq personal sequencer, Roche 454, Ion Torrent, SOLid and Sanger. CVM has previously purchased three network licenses of CLC Genomics Workbench and has determined a need for support and upgrades for the three existing network licenses. In addition, CVM has identified a need for additional network licenses of CLC Genomics Workbench as well as one module for Micorbial Finishing Module. The following defines the need for both of these requirements. Requirements for Maintenance and Support for Three Existing Network Licenses: CVM requires a one year maintenance and support to include the following: o Access to all product upgrades o Access to all bug fixes o Technical support provided via e-mail and telephone during normal business hours, Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm EST. Minimum required salient characteristics of new licenses: This requisition is for the brand name or equivalent to CLC Genomics Workbench - Network license (2 licenses) and Microbial Finishing Module. The CLC Genomics Workbench software must meet the following characteristics: • The bioinformatics software must be flexible to analyze and visualize data from all major next generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, like SOLiD, 454, Sanger, Illumina and Ion Torrent. • The software must have SIMD accelerated read mapping functionality that support both short and long reads, paired reads, gapped and un¬gapped alignments, and complex genomes with many repeats. • The software must have SIMD accelerated de novo and reference based assembly functionality that support both short and long reads, paired reads, mate pair and Sanger sequencing. • The software must support hybrid data analysis including de novo assembly of Sanger data, 454 single read data, and Illumina paired end data at the same time in the same analysis. • The software must support multiplexing protocols for various types of multiplexing based on name, tags and barcoding. • The software must support a complete resequencing pipeline from read mapping to variant detection to downstream analysis. • The software must provide tools to support a full work flow in analysis of expression data and genome finishing module. • The software must run on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux platforms. • The software must have the potential to scale up to a Server based 3-tier system architecture solution to offer maximum security and database management that support bioinformatic computing. • The software must include classical sequence analysis tools including PCR design, molecular cloning, BLAST, alignments, and phylogenetic trees. • The software must allow two users having the ability to concurrently run the software from different computers (two network licenses). Microbial finishing module requirement • The software must provide tools with different functionalities to identify, visualize, and solve problems in genome assemblies and help for finishing bacterial genome. • Maintenance/Support of new licenses: CVM requires a one year maintenance and support to include the following: o Access to all product upgrades o Access to all bug fixes o Technical support provided via e-mail and telephone during normal business hours, Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm EST.
