Long-Read RNA Sequencing Kits for CARD iNDI Brain Sample StudyThe National Institutes of Health, specifically the National Institute on Aging (NIA), has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the procurement of brand-name Oxford Nanopore long-read RNA sequencing consumables. This acquisition supports the Center for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias’ (CARD) induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Neurodegenerative Disease Initiative (iNDI). The government plans to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order exclusively to Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Inc. for specific consumables including 171 PromethION Flow Cells and 114 units of the cDNA-PCR Sequencing Kit. These supplies are essential for conducting large-scale RNA sequencing on 600 postmortem human brain samples to advance research on Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and brain aging by analyzing gene expression and isoform diversity. The consumables must meet stringent performance criteria: flow cells need to generate data with modal accuracy above 99% and be fully compatible with government-owned Oxford Nanopore PromethION 48 sequencers, while the sequencing kits must require minimal RNA input and accommodate six reactions each. Due to the proprietary nature of the Oxford Nanopore platform, compatible items from other manufacturers are not acceptable. The acquisition authority is based on regulations permitting a sole source award when only one responsible source exists, under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. Interested parties other than Oxford Nanopore may submit capability statements proving their ability to meet all specified requirements by June 23, 2026. Submissions must demonstrate equivalency or authorized distribution and clear compatibility with the existing sequencing equipment. The government will review responses to decide whether to proceed with sole sourcing or consider competitive procurement, retaining full discretion in this decision.
