AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Puget Sound Care System, seeks to enter into a sole source contract with the University of Washington's Nickerson Lab at the North West Genomic Center for high throughput whole human exome and genome sequencing, utilizing pre-established gene test panels. This partnership leverages the University of Washington's advanced genetic sequencing technology and expertise, enabling the VA to conduct essential genomic research, bioinformatic preparation, and consulting services that the VA itself currently cannot perform. The contract supports maintaining critical capabilities in genetic sequencing and analytical interpretation necessary for the VA’s research and development efforts. This notice serves as an intent to negotiate exclusively with the University of Washington under FAR 6.302-5 and is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. However, other qualified entities interested in performing the required work may submit capability statements by a specified deadline. The government reserves the right to determine whether to open the requirement to competition based on the responses received. Correspondence should be directed via email to the listed VA contracting office contact, with no telephone inquiries accepted. The contract is aligned with NAICS code 541715 and is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
