- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation, to procure commercial items prepared in accordance with the format of 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. This procurement is being issued as a Notice of Intent (NOI6025). This solicitation and its incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC05-08. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intends to procure on a sole source basis from Sigma-Aldrich a quantity of 249 each of 12103-500M Fetal Bovine Serum sourced in USA. The Vaccine Research Center is developing vaccines for HIV, Ebola and potentially, other viral diseases. Making different mutation of viral proteins is critical in the vaccine development. The mutated viral proteins, as sell as viruses expressing these proteins will be synthesized in cell lines. Proteins so made will be used in crystallography for structural analysis. Both proteins and viruses will be used in animal models for immunogenicity evaluations. Maintaining the cell lines and supporting the production of proteins and viruses require the supplements of fetal bovine serum (FBS) in culture medium. Sigma-Aldrich is the only company who can provide the serum-matching program which provides batches of FBS of the same consistency and quality as the original batch.
