AI Contract Overview

The US Geological Survey (USGS) intends to award a purchase order exclusively to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA, for the development of monoclonal antibodies as part of a study on salmonid immune responses. This single-source award is justified by the center's unique capability to efficiently produce multiple monoclonal antibodies simultaneously using 5-6 different proteins and its proximity to the USGS Western Fisheries Research Center, enabling the timely transfer of freshly-harvested leukocytes, which remain viable only for 4-6 hours. The project requires the delivery of confirmed positive cell lines and electronic data related to the antibody screening to USGS. This notice serves to comply with federal regulations but is not a solicitation for competitive bids, although responses via email will be accepted and considered. The acquisition will follow simplified procedures specific to commercial items under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The contract falls under NAICS code 541380 (Testing Laboratories) and PSC code B516 (Special Studies/Analysis - Animal/Fisheries). Inquiries and responses must be submitted electronically by the specified deadline to the designated point of contact at USGS, with no hardcopy submissions accepted.

Full Description

ANTIBODY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT SYNOPSIS - NOTICE OF INTENT This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source. The US Geological Survey (USGS), intends to award a Purchase Order to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA for an antibody development project. Award will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) and the procedures at FAR Part 12 entitled "Acquisition of Commercial Items" and FAR Part 13 entitled "Simplified Acquisition Procedures." Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is, to the USGS' knowledge, the only source who can provide this service. As part of a study to assess the immune response of salmonids during disease and immune stimulation, the development of monoclonal antibodies in mice is required in which multiple monoclonal antibodies are screened simultaneously with 5-6 different proteins. The awardee must be in close proximity of the USGS - Western Fisheries Research Center in Seattle, WA in order to receive freshly-harvested leukocytes, which are viable for only 4-6 hours. Confirmed positive cell lines for specific immunogens will be provided to the USGS along with all electronic data associated with the screening process. The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a quotation which shall be considered by the agency. No solicitation will be issued. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. The NAICS code for this action is 541380, Testing Laboratories, and the PSC code is B516, Special Studies/Analysis - Animal/Fisheries Responses or inquiries shall only be accepted through electronic mail addressed to contact@example.gov and must be uploaded and received in their entirety no later than 06/21/2020. Responses submitted by hardcopy shall not be accepted or considered.
