What this contract is for

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT SCOPE The laboratory of the Virology Department of the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit SOUTH (NAMRU SOUTH) is looking to purchase reagents to prepare libraries using human samples that later will be sequenced in the MiSeq and MiniSeq platforms developed by Illumina, as part of the projects of next-generation sequencing (NGS) that are being conducted at this command. BACKGROUND The kits must be designed for library preparation and sequencing. The library preparation kit should include a variety of steps that include enzymatic fragmentation, size selection, end-repair, a-tail and ligation step in the same reaction. The process should allow including dual index at the 5 and 3 prime ends for later sample identification. Also, the library preparation kit should be designed to construct libraries with a low DNA input (~50ng) with master-mixed reagents ready to use. Similarly, the sequencing kit should allow us to run more than 150 sequencing cycles. Those cycles are needed to run paired-end libraries with a high-quality performance. We expect to have more than 2.0Gb per sequencing run with high Q30 values. Finally, the sequencing kit should include an internal control to validate the sequencing run. REQUIREMENTS Location of work / Place of delivery Shipment to NAMRU SOUTH – Callao, Peru Period of performance / Delivery time In accordance with deliverables schedule.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
