This solicitation is issued as a competitive combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services. The Government intends to award a contract or purchase order resulting from this solicitation using full and open competition. This acquisition is conducted under the authority of FAR 12.603, Streamlined Solicitation for Commercial Products or Commercial Services, and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (if applicable). The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of the Director, Office of Acquisitions, seeks to award a firm fix-price contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government.

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of the Director, Office of Acquisitions, is seeking to award a firm fixed-price contract for Long Sequencing kits. This solicitation is issued as a competitive combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or services. The goal is to acquire necessary sequencing kits to support NIH/NIMH operations. Work Details The solicitation includes the following items with specified quantities: 1. PromethION Flow Cells Packs DNA - Quantity: 65 2. Ligation Sequencing Kit XL V14 - Quantity: 6 3. Sequencing Auxiliary Vials XL - Quantity: 6 These items are essential for conducting advanced sequencing operations at NIH/NIMH. Period of Performance The delivery date for the products is set for June 26, 2026. Place of Performance The products will be delivered to NIH/NIA, located at 251 Bayview Blvd STE 100, Baltimore, MD 21224. Bidder Requirements Bidders must demonstrate their capability to provide the required products and include unit and total prices, shipping and handling costs, and delivery timeframe after award. There are no specific set-aside requirements mentioned; this acquisition is unrestricted. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract based on the prior award 75N98026P00734 to Oxford Nanopore Technologies (award value $252,560; 06/10/26–10/10/26). The current solicitation’s “Long Sequencing kit” requirements (e.g., PromethION flow cell packs and long-read sequencing kits/accessories) align with the same type of sequencing kit supply activity reflected in the earlier NIA sequencing kits procurement, suggesting the new buy may be a continuation or replenishment of similar long-sequencing consumables.
