Full Description

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Integrated Research Facility (IRF) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Unchained Labs, 6870 Koll Ctr Pkwy Ste 200, Pleasanton, CA, 94566-3176 for Automated Protein Denaturation Platform. This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 12 - Acquisition for Commercial Items and will be made pursuant to the authority in FAR Part 13.501(a)(1). Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type of contract. Additional Automated Protein Denaturation Platform can only be provided by one source. The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 only one source available and no substitutions are possible. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTATIONS. All responsible sources who can provide the same or similar equipment may submit a response that could be considered by email to Brad Engel at brad.engel@nih.gov by the date and time stipulated. All information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient detail to allow NIAID to determine if it can meet the above unique specifications described herein. All responses received by the closing date of this solicitation will be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION: Additional Hunky Denaturation System is required in the laboratories protein analysis processes. This includes the Hunky Client software and Hunky Analysis software. This is a critical function within the laboratory and the new system must utilize the same system, software, protocols, and consumables. Changing to a different type of consumable/equipment at this stage in the testing/experiments would be disastrous, causing data variations. These data variations would invalidate research and most importantly, the setback would cause unnecessary delays to critical research. Products and materials may appear to be similar, however, small factors in their production can lead to vastly different and inconsistent results. With the life/health aspect involved, the salient requirements of numerous research projects must be maintained.

2027 NIAID DMID Omnibus Broad Agency Announcement: Development of Medical Interventions for Infectious Diseases
Solicitation # HHS-NIH-NIAID-BAA2026-1
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is soliciting proposals under Broad Agency Announcement HHS-NIH-NIAID-BAA2026-1 to advance the research and development of medical interventions for infectious diseases. This initiative focuses on three primary research areas: the development of needle-free vaccine candidates through early-phase clinical trials; the creation of safe and effective therapeutic candidates for serious infectious diseases, including those resistant to current antimicrobial therapy; and the innovation of in vitro diagnostic technology platforms capable of rapid, automated detection of a broad panel of priority viral pathogens. The program emphasizes alignment with NIH priorities regarding biosafety, biosecurity, and the use of non-animal testing methods. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the NIAID eCPS website by December 8, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. Technical proposals are limited to 75 pages and will be evaluated by a peer review group based on technical merit, with the technical plan and personnel qualifications being of paramount consideration. Awards are not based on a common Statement of Work; instead, offerors must propose their own technical plans, milestones, and cost structures using a base and option period format. The resulting contracts will require an accounting system compliant with generally accepted accounting principles and will involve rigorous government inspection and acceptance based on the successful completion of critical milestones.
