- Description
- The National Eye Institute (NEI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to solicit a contract with New York Stem Cell Foundation, Inc., to fulfill the requirement to obtain induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to advance the study of the functional basis of genetic variants associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Using these AMD-patient derived iPSCs investigators in the vision research community will be able to differentiate these cells with the genetic background of our well characterized subjects into tissues of interest such as but not restricted to RPE cells, photoreceptor cells, and endothelial cells. With the capability of differentiating iPSCs vision research community investigators can perform functional analysis of genes associated with AMD in cell types relevant to the biology of AMD. The Contractor will present sufficient capacity to generate 100 iPSC lines in 12 months. The anticipated period of performance is September 20, 2017 through March 20, 2019. The anticipated firm fixed price contract will comprise one 18-month period. Authority: 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1. This is not a request for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations and does not commit the Government to any contractual agreement. A Sources Sought Notice along with a draft Statement of Work had been posted as HHSNIHODSBSS17010 on June 28, 2017. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.
