- Description
- Introduction This is a Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of all qualified sources to perform a potential requirement. Project Summary The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Laboratory of Immunoregulation (LIR) Good Manufacturing Practice-manufactured Monoclonal Antibody to provide advanced syntax analysis capabilities. Specifically, NIAID, LIR is seeking a Good Manufacturing Practice-manufactured Monoclonal Antibody that can perform the following applications and meet the requirements listed below: 1) The monoclonal antibody should specifically bind to its target antigen. 2) It should have a high affinity for its target antigen to ensure effective binding and potential therapeutic activity. 3) It should be stable under various storage conditions, such as temperature, pH, and freeze-thaw cycles, to maintain its activity and integrity. 4) The antibody should be highly pure, free from contaminants, and have minimal levels of impurities, such as aggregates or endotoxins. 5) The antibody should demonstrate a potent biological activity, such as neutralizing the virus or modulating the immune response. 6) The antibody should be safe for use in humans, with minimal risk of adverse effects or immunogenicity. Monoclonal Antibody Drug Substance (DS) requirement: The final monoclonal antibody drug substance (DS) product must meet the following criteria: 1. Appearance: Clear and colorless solution 2. Protein Concentration: 9.0 to 11.0 mg/mL 3. pH: 6.0 to 7.0 4. Peptide mapping: The profile of the Sample solution corresponds to the profile of the Standard solution 5. Monomeric IgG by SEC: H.M.W NMT 5.0 % Monomeric lgG NLT 95.0% 6. Low molecular weight impurities by L.M.W impurities S 5.0% non-reducin2: CE-SDS 7. Charge variant by IEX: S1/S2: 5-33%; S2/S2: 12-51% S2/S3: 9-23%; S3/S3: 2-10% Other variants: NMT 49% 8. Residual DNA: ?4 pg per mg protein 9. Protein A: ?15.0 ng/mg protein 10. CHO HCP: ?100.0 ng/mg protein 11. rCD4 Binding Assay by ELISA: 80.0-125.0 % binding activity of Reference Standard 12. Bioburden: ?1 CFU/10 mL 13. Bacterial Endotoxin Test: ?1 EU/mL 14. Tween 80 concentration: 0.02 % to 0.08 % 15. HIV-1 neutralization assay: 25-150 % relative potency (ICS0) of Reference Standard. Monoclonal Antibody Drug Product (DP) requirement: The final Monoclonal Antibody Drug Product (DP) product must meet the following criteria: 1. Appearance: Homogeneous, clear, colorless, and odorless solution 2. Physical testing: (1) Foreign and Particulate Matter: free from particulate matter that can be observed on visual inspection. (2) Container closure testing: rotate the cap by hand to check the compactness and invert bottle for more than 10 seconds to check that there is no leakage or cover off 3. Protein Concentration: 9.0 to11.0 mg/mL 4. pH: 6.0 to 7.0 5. Peptide mapping: The profile of the Sample solution corresponds to the profile of the Standard solution 6. Monomeric IgG by SEC: H.M.W: NMT 5.0% Monomeric lgG NLT 95.0% 7. Low molecular weight impurities by non-reducing CE-SDS: L.M.W: impurities: ? 5.0% 8. Charge variant by IEX Sl/S2: 5-33%; S2/S2: 12-51% S2/S3: 9-23%; S3/S3: 2-10%, Other variants: NMT 49% 9. rCD4 Binding Assay by ELISA: 80.0%-125.0% binding activity of Reference Standard, 10. Particulate matter: (1) ~ 10?m particle: NMT 6000 per container (2) > 25um particle: NMT 600 per container 11. Sterility No detectable growth 12. Bacterial Endotoxin Test : ? 1 EU/mL 13. Tween 80 concentration 0.02%-0.08% 14. Extraction volume > 10mL. Anticipated Period of Performance It is anticipated that an award will be made on or about September 23, 2024. Delivery of equipment will be required as soon as possible. Capability Statement/Information Sought If your organization has the potential capacity to provide a GMP-manufactured Monoclonal Antibody which meets the minimum salient characteristics listed above, please provide the following information: 1. Organization name, address, point of contact, email address, website address, telephone number, UEI number 2. Type of business (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone, Other than Small, etc.) pursuant to the applicable NAICS code 3. Identification of any Best-in-Class contract vehicles including Government Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWAC) (e.g., GSA schedule, NITAAC) they may possess or are aware of that would support this possible requirement. If your organization does not provide the products/services under a GWAC, please identify availability as OPEN MARKET ONLY. 4. Tailored capability statement addressing the capability of the instrument to meet NIAID�s minimum salient characteristics. Capability document shall be no more than six pages. 5.
