This requirement is for Chromium Next GEM cell kits. While Chromium Next GEM is proprietary to 10x Genomics it may be distributed through authorized resellers.
The essential characteristic of the 10X Genomics Chromium System that limit the availability to a brand name requirement is the ability to collect single cells and mark
them such the DNA and RNA isolated from these cells are tagged with a unique tag. This allows one to assess the differences in cell population isolated from a tissue or
tumor and to identify cell heterogeneity. This brand is required because the system can isolate >10,000 cells in a single lane, and using 8 lanes available on the chip it can
isolate up to 80,000 cells. The system is provided with software to analyze the resulting transcription profiles and score variants. Therefore, it is required that the brandname
cell kits, compatible with this system, are purchased.
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 published in the Federal Register on July 12, 2021.
Chromium system allows collection of single sells, mark each cells with an unique bar -code and a second unique barcode for the genomic DNA or RNA allowing one to distinguish transcripts derived from each isolated cell and classify variants in DNA or assess the transcript content. Subsequent analyses allows researchers to distinguish the kinds of cells within a complex sample such as a tissue and understand their function.
