Solicitation # 36C24E27Q0009
The Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing a Sources Sought notice to identify capable vendors for the development and production of a kidney glomerular endothelial cell specific adeno-associated virus AAV vector. This project, funded by a VA ORD Merit award, aims to create a homing peptide enabled vector platform to target the glomerular endothelium to treat kidney injury and disease while reducing off target transduction. The scope of work is divided into three primary tasks: the engineering and incorporation of targeting peptides into the AAV capsid, testing vector binding and internalization in kidney tissue slices, and evaluating the specificity and efficiency of the modified vector through bioluminescence imaging and in vivo biodistribution studies. Qualified contractors must possess extensive onsite resources, including BSL 2 laboratories, specialized DNA and RNA facilities, and advanced instrumentation such as the Agilent Fragment Analyzer and various qPCR platforms. Vendors must demonstrate proven success in animal and human cell vector delivery and maintain full compliance with AAALAC and FELASA health standards. The government requires quarterly reporting, weekly videoconferences, and biannual face to face meetings. All generated data will be subject to Government Purpose Rights, and contractors must adhere to strict federal records management and information security protocols.
