EPX-55555-000 – 96-Well Hand-Held Magnetic Plate Washer and EPX480-20834-901 – MO Immune Monitoring 48Plex, 96 Tests

Solicitation # 75N98026Q01254

The National Institutes of Health intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Thermo Fisher Scientific for a 96-well hand-held magnetic plate washer and the MO Immune Monitoring 48Plex assay. This acquisition is designated as a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 because the specific products are required to maintain consistency in a research project investigating the effects of sarcoma cancers and autoimmune disease on human ovarian function. The study relies on a finite set of biological specimens that cannot be recreated, making the use of this specific multiplex bead-based assay platform essential to avoid compromising data comparability and wasting limited samples. While the government intends to proceed with a single source, interested parties may submit capability statements to demonstrate their ability to meet the technical requirements by September 28, 2026. The procurement is managed by the National Institutes of Health under notice number 75N98026Q01254, with the goal of obtaining the necessary tools to measure 48 soluble immune-related markers in blood and ovarian tissue specimens.
