Presolicitation Notice to Sole Source for Experimental Pathology Laboratories, Inc. (EPL)

Solicitation # Presolicitation_NOI_Sole_Source_EPL

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, through the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer's Water, Tribal, and Science Division, intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order for histology and pathology services of maternal and neonatal rodent specimen organs. The work will be performed at the EPA Headquarters in Washington, DC, and focuses on the toxicologic pathology of environmental contaminants, including PFAS, phthalates, air pollutants, and endocrine-disrupting compounds. This acquisition is intended to continue existing larger studies to maintain data integrity and avoid protocol deviations. The EPA intends to sole source this requirement to Experimental Pathology Laboratories, Inc. (EPL) due to their specialized experience with environmental contaminants, compliance with Good Laboratory Practice regulations, and their ability to accept hand-delivered samples as a local vendor. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541714 for Research and Development in Biotechnology and PSC code AZ11. While the agency intends to award to EPL, other responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by November 30, 2026. The estimated award date is December 3, 2026. All vendors must maintain a public profile in the System for Award Management and utilize the FedConnect portal for contract communications.

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is soliciting proposals for the Simulation-augmented, Real-time Platform Adaptive Seamless Trials (SURPASS) program under solicitation ARPA-H-SOL-26-164. This five-year initiative aims to create a reusable blueprint for future adaptive seamless platform trials through the integration of three technical areas: a Phaseless Design Engine, Continuous Inference, and Agentic Operations. The program is divided into two stages, with Stage I focusing on capability buildout, FDA engagement, and the onboarding of at least three intervention arms over 24 months, followed by a 36-month Stage II dedicated to validation and deployment. A critical go/no-go milestone is obtaining FDA authorization for the platform Master Protocol IND and at least one investigational arm by the end of Stage I. The government intends to make multiple awards via Other Transaction Agreements to proposers offering the most advantageous solutions based on innovation, feasibility, and technical merit at reasonable prices. Eligible entities must possess a Unique Entity Identifier and active SAM registration. Proposals are submitted in a phased approach, beginning with a Solution Summary and potentially progressing to a Solution Pitch package. Performance will be measured by the successful integration of the three technical areas and the achievement of specific program metrics. All work must adhere to ICH E6(R3) Good Clinical Practice and strict regulatory standards to ensure inspection readiness and participant safety.

Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-18

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office is hosting a virtual Industry Day on December 9, 2026, for the Laguna program under Special Notice DARPA-SN-27-18. The program's primary objective is to develop and demonstrate integrated manufacturing approaches that convert abundant domestic feedstocks, such as sugars, ethylene, and BTX, into application-ready specialty chemical formulations. By minimizing intermediate processing steps and separations, the initiative seeks to reduce reliance on vulnerable foreign supply chains. The anticipated 36-month effort is divided into two technical areas: Make and Formulate, which focuses on developing defense-relevant specialty products from U.S. raw materials, and Model, which aims to create predictive tools to optimize the relationship between feedstocks, synthesis, and final product performance. This notice is issued for information and program planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals. Interested parties must register for the Industry Day event by December 2, 2026. The program requires that resulting products meet or exceed the performance of current military materials, with deliverables including technoeconomic analyses, life cycle assessments, and commercialization strategy plans. Technical and administrative inquiries are managed by Dr. William Mounfield and can be directed to [email hidden]. A draft program solicitation is expected to be released on sam.gov prior to the Industry Day event.
