- Description
- This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested. The Government intends to award a fixed price purchase order to Sartorius Stedim North America, Inc. Bohemia, NY 11716. The Department of Transfusion (DTM) at National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center (CC), Bethesda, MD has a requirement to procure the below supply and quantity. Item Number: 08-003A Description: HBSS (1X) without CA, Mg or Phenol red. 4 liter fill Quantity: 192 each Media is a specialized, menufactured product, whether in liquid or powder form, producted and used in the processing and manufacturing of cell products in the Cell Processing Section. Media, like reagents, are used for patients in the NIH Clinical Center (and for other institutes for which the NIHCC provides services). Oftentimes, they are used for the use of ill to critically ill patients. This media is uused to expand autologous and allogeneic Natural Killer (NK) cell products that are used to treat cancer patients. The autologous NK cells are used as the primary treatment of cancer and hematologic malignancies. The allogeneic NK cell products are given to patients after a hematopoietic stem cell transplant to treat cancer and hematologic malignancies. Many of these patients have already begun a series of NK cell treatments that would be interrupted if this were not available. This media must come from the same vendor so as not to affect the processing of cells and patient treatment plans. Additionally, the company provides Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) grade media packaged in 4 liter bags. GMP is the following per Wikipedia: "Good Manufacturing Practice" or "GMP" are practices and the systems required to be adapted in pharmaceutical manufacturing, quality control, quality system covering the manufacture and testing of pharmaceuticals or drugs including active pharmaceutical ingredients, diagnostics, foods, pharmaceutical products, and medical devices. GMPs is guidance that outlines the aspects of production and testing that can impact the quality of a product. Receiving media in these large bags rather than bottles provents microbial contamination that could occur when media bottles are pooled to provide the large quantities needed for these protocols. In addition, the media is GMP grade. This grade is required for the productin of cells used for clinical purposes.
