Single-Sole Source Determination:
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), Laboratory of Genetics and Genomics is conducting a study regarding the effects of myogenesis in human myoblasts. This study makes use of the chromium controller, and instrument solely designed and generated by 10x Genomics. As such and to maintain consistency, the reagents required for use of this instruments are only manufactured and sold by 10x Genomics.
Acquisition Authority: This acquisition is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 13 – Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and the resultant contract award will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2021-06 dated July 12, 2021.
The National Institute on Aging, Laboratory of Genetics and Genomics is conducting a study regarding the effects of myogenesis in human myoblasts. The following specifications are required:
- 10x Genomics Chromium Next GEM Chip G Single Cell Kit, 48 rxns, Chromium Next GEM Single Cell 3’ Kit v3.1, 16 rxns
- Product Code 1000268
- Quantity: 1
- These reagents must be compatible with the 10X Genomics single cell sequencing system, with the ability to process RNA from live cells following the manufacturer’s protocol, with a minimum shelf life of six (6) months if stored properly.
- The purpose of these reagents will be to create a library specific for each single cell which can then be amplified and sequenced. The reagents will be able to enter an individual cell, label the RNA with a unique identifier which will be specific for all the labeled RNA in that cell which will be distinguishable from every other cell which will also be labeled with their own unique identifier. These labeled RNAs will then be further amplified and converted to cDNA libraries which can then be fragmented and sequenced. The reagents purchased must be compatible with the 10X genomics sequencing machinery allowing for formation of GEMS for each individual cell.
