Description



The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) in Fort Detrick, MD intends to negotiate on a sole source basis (IAW RFO 12.102(a)) with Qiagen Sciences, LLC, 19300 Germantown Road, MD 20874 as the only responsible source that can provide CLC Genomics Server/Workbench maintenance and support. This is a Presolicitation notice in accordance with RFO 5.101.



QIAGEN is the sole manufacturer and copyright holder of the CLC Genomics software suite. Because the government has an established operational requirement for these specific bioinformatics pipelines, only QIAGEN can issue the server licenses required to run, expand, and maintain this proprietary software environment. No third-party reseller or alternative platform can generate, issue, or legally authorize these server licenses. Enterprise network licenses and server seat allocations can only be managed, authenticated, and updated via QIAGEN's proprietary network license manager. Procuring any other brand would result in a total duplication of cost, loss of validated scientific workflows, and system-wide inoperability.



Genomics Workbench Server provides an open API solution to customize software by integrating other databases and tools on both the client-side and server-side. It can store data on central storage, either a File System, Bioinformatics Database or on a custom designed database scheme. Qiagen software is supported on Windows and Linux OS and allows provides the ability to analyze NGS data on a Server or work remotely from a desktop. The Genomics Factory – both the Workbench and Server – are currently used daily at AFDIL for the analysis of NGS data.

The intended procurement will be classified under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 541512 with a Small Business Size Standard of $30,000,000. This presolicitation notice is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for this requirement. However, any parties interested in responding to this notice shall submit technical data, including cost, sufficient to determine capability in providing the same service. All capability statements received by closing of this notification of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
