AI Contract Overview

The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price contract to Bio-Rad Laboratories for the procurement of Liquichek Tumor Reagents, which are critical testing controls for cardiac, cancer, and infectious disease markers used in the Department of Laboratory Medicine’s Immunoassay laboratory. These reagents ensure consistent, high-quality results across 35 active research and clinical protocols, many of which span multiple years and require uninterrupted analytical stability. Bio-Rad is the exclusive manufacturer of these reagents, and substitution with alternative products would necessitate extensive revalidation and regulatory approval, potentially delaying patient care and compromising diagnostic accuracy. This acquisition is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which permits sole source procurement when only one supplier can meet the government’s requirements. Although this notice is not a formal solicitation and does not invite competitive quotations, interested parties may submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to supply the reagents, including company details, technical capability, proof of OEM authorization, and relevant past performance. Submissions must reference POTS 26-005107 and be received electronically by May 24, 2026, at 8:00 AM EST to the designated point of contact at the NIH Office of Acquisitions and Logistics Management. The government retains full discretion in deciding not to compete the requirement, and the contract will be performed at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
