Description

The Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, is seeking to procure a GridION Mk1 CapEX with starter pack and Rapid PCR barcoding for shipping direct to Cambodia. The GridION sequencing instrument and supplies, manufactured by Oxford Nanopore Technologies in the United Kingdom, are intended for use in the International Center of Excellence (ICER) Cambodia. ICER Cambodia requires long-read sequencing to provide full or near-full genomes of pathogens for structural genomics and pathogen evolutionary analyses. The GridION Mk1 sequencing platform is particularly suitable for this purpose, as it provides high-throughput data generation and real-time processing and analysis of data. The procurement of the GridION Mk1 sequencer will facilitate training and support efforts for public health initiatives in Cambodia. The government intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order based on technical capability and price. Offers must be submitted by March 9, 2024, and any questions or concerns should be directed to Diana Rohlman at diana.rohlman@nih.gov.
