1. TITLE: GENETIC ANALYZER
2. SECURITY: There is no security requirement associated with the requirement.
3. REQUIREMENT: The Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), The Canadian Animal Genetic Resources (CAGR) program has a mandate to protect Canadian domestic livestock, poultry and heritage breeds through the collection and cryopreservation of germplasm. This initiative is achieved through independent donations from producers and artificial insemination (AI) centers interested in the conservation of animal genetics. A portion of these donations are used in research projects investigating, characterizing and evaluating the genetic diversity of these species. To realize the different research projects, the CAGR requires the acquisition of a genetic analyzer which will facilitate current and future projects investigating genetic diversity and characterization of Canadian livestock and poultry species. Our group needs to replace its current genetic analyzer (ABI 3130xl, Life Technologies). The next genetic analyzer must have the capability of genotyping SSR (Simple Stranded Repeats) and serve as an adequate platform for producing high quality sequence data used to assess mtDNA lineage, and haplotype diversity within and among livestock populations. In addition, this system must also have the capability to test SNPs, which will be of interest for future genetic diversity and conservation projects within the CAGR. Finally, the new system must be able to read the over 2000 existing .fsa (fragment analysis) files that have been generated with the current DNA analyzer.
The Minimum Performance Specification are included in Annex "A" and Annex "C" of the solicitation.
4. EVALUATION AND SELECTION: Mandatory technical evaluation criteria are included in Annex "C" of the solicitation.
Contractor selection will be based on the responsive bid with the lowest evaluated price will be recommended for award of a contract.
5. DELIVERY DATE: Delivery is mandatory to be no later than 2014-March-31.
6. INTEGRITY PROVISIONS - BID Pursuant to section 01 of Standard Instructions 2003, Bidders who are incorporated, including those bidding as a joint venture, must provide a complete list of names of all individuals who are currently directors of the Bidder.

Failure to provide the names within the time frame specified will render the bid non-responsive. Providing the required names is a mandatory requirement for contract award.
