6550--Test Kits and Reagents - Sources Sought

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking potential vendors for a requirement of domestic Test Kits and Reagents for the CT Healthcare System, CT. The kits must be able to facilitate a variety of genomic research tasks related to single-cell analysis, including single-cell RNA sequencing, single-cell ATAC sequencing, single-cell multiome, single-cell DNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, cellular barcoding, and single-cell epigenomics. The kits should have droplet-based microfluidics technology, high sensitivity and resolution, and comprehensive applications. The vendor should have a proven track record of peer-reviewed literature demonstrating the successful application of the kits in a wide variety of research fields. Some of the key features and applications of the required kits include: • Single-Cell RNA Sequencing (scRNA-seq) • Single-Cell ATAC Sequencing (scATAC-seq) • Single-Cell Multiome (RNA + ATAC) • Single-Cell DNA Sequencing (scDNA-seq) • Spatial Transcriptomics • Cellular Barcoding (Cell Type Identification) • Single-Cell Epigenomics • Gene Expression Profiling of Rare Cell Populations
