The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Department of the Interior, is issuing a small‑business set‑aside (NAICS 334516) Request for Quote (RFQ 140G0225Q0115) for the purchase, installation, and multi‑year service/maintenance of an Illumina MiSeq i100 Plus benchtop next‑generation sequencer. The award will be a firm‑fixed‑price contract administered under FAR Part 12 (commercial items) and FAR 13.5 simplified procedures, with the contract going to the vendor whose technically compliant, best‑value quotation is most advantageous to the Government. Offerors must submit a technical narrative (≤10 pages) describing their approach, key personnel qualifications, and any subcontractors, as well as three recent references (including prime/subcontractor roles) for comparable work. Past performance on marine‑engine projects will be evaluated for quality and timeliness, and price will be considered equally with technical merit. All contractor‑owned IT systems supporting the sequencer must be categorized using FIPS 199 and NIST SP 800‑60, with the appropriate security categorization documented and referenced in the proposal. The system must be procured from an authorized Illumina reseller, and the contract includes asset‑valuation services. Quotations must adhere to the submission requirements outlined in the solicitation, and the Government may contact the provided references.
