NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING ITEMS

The U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit SOUTH (NAMRU SOUTH) is seeking to procure specialized reagents essential for preparing genomic libraries from human samples, which will be sequenced using Illumina’s MiSeq and MiniSeq platforms. This procurement supports ongoing next-generation sequencing (NGS) projects within the Virology Department. The requested reagents include PhiX Control v3, MiSeq Reagent Kit v3 (600-cycle), Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation Kit for 96 samples, two sets of Nextera XT Index Kit v2 (Sets A and B), and the MiniSeq High Output Reagent Kit (300-cycles). These materials are critical for generating and indexing DNA libraries for accurate and efficient sequencing. Delivery of the reagents is required at NAMRU SOUTH’s facility in Bellavista, Callao, Peru. The solicitation is designated as an 8(a) sole source set-aside under NAICS code 424210, indicating a targeted procurement within a specific socioeconomic program. The Naval Medical Research Center, part of the Department of Defense, is managing this acquisition with key points of contact available for coordination.
