Biotech Logistics and Cold Chain Distribution

The contract calls for specialized logistics services focused on the packaging, labeling, and shipment of temperature-sensitive biologic reagents requiring stringent cold chain protocols, including maintenance at -80°C throughout运输. The work involves rigorous compliance with controlled environmental standards to preserve sample integrity, ensuring that all handling, documentation, and transport adhere to industry-specific biologic shipment requirements. This subcontract is issued under the NAICS code 488190, which covers other support activities for air transportation, indicating a need for highly coordinated, specialized distribution beyond standard freight services. The National Institutes of Health, specifically NIDA under the Department of Health and Human Services, is the agency overseeing this procurement with a response deadline of August 13, 2026. While the exact place of performance is not specified, the nature of the work implies coordination across multiple facilities and potentially international points of delivery. Bidders must demonstrate proven experience in cold chain management for biologics, including validated packaging solutions, real-time temperature monitoring, contingency protocols for deviations, and compliance with regulatory expectations for biological material transport. All proposals must be submitted by the stated deadline to be considered for award.
