- This is a combined/solicitation notice of intent for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are not being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number for this acquisition is NOI-5109 and the solicitation is being issued as a notice of intent. This solicitation document and its incorporated provisions are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC 2005-05). The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) intends to procure an order for reagents from BD Biosciences to continue testing of reagents for vaccine clinical trails (NIAID Project #: Z01-AI-005009). The anticipated period of performance is from 09/14/05 thru 09/31/06. The Contractor will utilize shipments of custom IFN-g PE Clone (90 each), IL-2 PE Clone (90 each), CD4 Percp (157 each), CD3 APC (19 each), and CD8 (SK1) FITC (78 each) clinical reagents for the research vaccine development. Extensive testing and optimization was conducted at the onset of the clinical trail monitoring, these reagents from BD Biosciences was tested along with other reagents from other vendors. The primary goal is to maintain the consistency of the data; therefore the reagents must stay the same. It is necessary for each reagent to be of the same lot number in order to last through the entire phase of the study. BD Biosciences has been identified as the only responsible source for this procurement. Switching to another manufacturer would result in significant time delays, additional cost to the government to complete redo the optimization process of the clinical trails. This is not a Small-Business Set Aside.
