Description

Please notice that the deadline date for receipt of proposals is September 9, 2005, 1700 ET. The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) of the Food and Drug Administration has a requirement for services to provide proven methods for detecting specific Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) and Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) microbial contaminants in particular high priority foods, also intended to provide CFSAN with data on the stability of biothreat agents in foods, and the affects of environmental parameters on the survival of these pathogens in food. The various types of tasks may include, but not be limited to, the following: (1) Develop methods for the isolation and detection of biothreat agents from high priority food matrices specified by CFSAN using immunomagnetic capture and polymerase chain reaction (IC-PCR) technology. (2) Develop a multiplex assay based on IC-PCR for the simultaneous isolation and identification of several threat agents from specified food matrices. (3) Validate methods for the isolation and detection of biothreat agents from high priority food matrices specified by CFSAN. (4) Evaluate biothreat agent survival in high priority food matrices under various storage conditions. (5) Develop enrichment and selective media for the isolation and detection of biothreat agents from foods. (6) Determine the thermal tolerance of biothreat agents in high priority food matrices specified by CFSAN. This is a full and open competition. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541710. A one (1) year base contract with four (4), one (1) year options is intended. This Request for Proposals (RFP) Number HHSF22300510017C will be available on or about May 26, 2005. The due date for receipt of proposals is anticipated to be June 28, 2005. Any responsible offeror may submit a proposal for consideration by the Government. This advertisement does not commit the Government to award a contract. No collect calls will be accepted. No facsimile transmissions will be accepted.
