Description
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intends to solicit proposals for a contractor to provide Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition CFSAN develop methods for the isolation and identification of biothreat agents and conventional pathogens in foods. A. Project Background: The Food and Drug Administration, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) has specific regulatory responsibilities directed at ensuring the safety of food, food additive, dietary supplement, and cosmetic products. In part, CFSAN maintains an active research program for the purpose of developing and applying technologies to detect, to identify and evaluate microbial hazards that may contaminate products either naturally or intentionally. CFSAN has a research project in place to develop methods for the isolation and identification of biothreat agents and conventional pathogens in foods. The identification methods currently in place will identify a single agent in a food matrix, which is fine if there is intelligence such as clinical cases of infection that suggest the causative agent of the infection. However, in the event of an unknown with either biothreat or conventional pathogens, separate methods would be needed to screen for all of the microbial agents of concern. This analysis would require a large amount of time that could result in significant morbidity and mortality. Using the multiplex approach such as the Luminex (Bio-plex) system multiple agents could be screened for simultaneously significantly reducing analysis time and removal of contaminated products from the US food supply. B. Objective: The objective of this potential requirement is to assist CFSAN in fulfilling its regulatory responsibilities and guard the American public from intentional or accidental contamination of the food supply with these microbiological agents. C. Additional Information: It is anticipated that one (1) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with one (1) base period year and four (4) option years will be awarded. This announcement is not a request for proposal (RFP). The solicitation/request for proposal will be written and an upload to this pre-solicitation notice. NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE. The anticipated award date for this effort is on or around September 1, 2009.
