The essential characteristics of the transgenic genotyping service that limit the availability to a sole source are daily pickup and transportation of samples from the NIH Bethesda campus, plus storage of remaining samples after analysis is completed, and return of samples to the Laboratory on Neuroplasticity as needed. Only this suggested source can furnish these requirements, to the exclusion of other sources, because other companies do not offer any of these options.
