Introduction
This is a Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of all qualified sources to perform a potential requirement.
Project Summary
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Genomic Analysis Core (GAC), Vaccine Research Center (VRC), is seeking to acquire two (2) liquid handling systems. The GAC/VRC focuses on the understanding of immunogenicity and antibody repertoires elicited by candidate immunogens for many endemic and emerging infectious diseases. This research endeavors aid in the GAC-s/VRC-s ability to design, produce, and test candidate immunogens aimed at eliciting neutralizing antibodies against several human pathogens, and more specifically, for pandemic preparedness.
The liquid handler systems are required for single cell-based antibody discovery crucial for pandemic preparedness efforts related to emerging arboviruses. These liquid handlers are also required for RNA and DNA processing, NGS applications, and antibody expression/production. These instruments allow multiple members of the lab to process samples in a high-throughput manner to contribute to the VRC's efforts in vaccine and therapeutics development. These types of instruments are needed to fulfill this requirement.
Specifically, NIAID, GAC, VRC is seeking two instruments capable of the following:
1. Liquid handling systems
a. Dispensing system: the system must use liquid dispensers with TRUE positive displacement of liquids for aspiration and non-contact dispensing with 6 dispensing syringes.
b. Pipetting system: the system must include at least a 384 tips air-displacement pipetting head, working in a minimum range from 0.5uL to 125uL. Plastic consumable tips must be automatically exchanged by the system and available in 384, 96, 8, and 16 channel arrays, for f...
