NIH Procurement of Illumina Methylation and Genotyping Kits for Genomic Research

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Genomics Core, is seeking to procure Illumina methylation and genotyping kits for genomic research on cardiometabolic diseases. - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) - Genomics Core - OEM Highlight: - Illumina is the sole Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specified for all products - Products Requested: - 3 Infinium Methylation EPIC v2 kits (96-sample kits) - For genome-wide methylation analysis - 3 Infinium Global Diversity Array-8 v1.0 kits (96-sample kits) - For genotyping and studying genetic variation - Product Details: - All kits are manufactured by Illumina and must be compatible with existing Illumina equipment and workflows at NHGRI - Each kit supports 96 samples - Notable Requirements: - Products must be compatible with current Illumina infrastructure and expertise at the NHGRI Genomics Core - Procurement is for one-time use, with all genotyping to be completed within one year - No alternative OEMs or products are specified or accepted

Description

Requirements:

Purpose and Objectives: 

This order is for methylation and genotyping arrays produced and manufactured by Illumina. The methylation beadchips are designed specifically for studying methylation changes across the genome while the genotyping arrays are designed for studying genetic variation across the genome. The Center for Research on Genomics and Global Health will use methylation beadchips and genotyping arrays to study gene methylation, genetic variations, and methylation quantitative traits in previously recruited participants.  The methylation and genotypes will be generated by the NHGRI Genomics Core, which has the necessary equipment and expertise for efficient processing of Illumina SNP beadchips.  The Core has an Illumina iScan, Illumina Autoloader, and a Tecan Liquid Handling Robot for automated processing of samples. 

Period of Performance: 

This is a one-time-use product, and the genotyping is expected to be completed within 1-year. 

Contractor Requirements: 

The vendor shall provide: 

 (3) Infinium Methylation EPIC v2 kits (96-sample kits) 

 (3) Infinium Global Diversity Array -8 v1.0 Kit (96 samples)
