Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Medical Countermeasure (MCM) Participant Basic Agreement (PBA)

Solicitation # W911SR-26-R-HEAL

The Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Medical Countermeasure (MCM) Participant Basic Agreement (PBA) is a continuous, open solicitation designed to establish a dynamic, pre-qualified network of partners to accelerate the development and fielding of next-generation medical defenses against CBRN threats. Operated by the Capability Program Executive for CBRN Defense (CPE CBRND) under the Department of Defense, this agreement functions as an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ)-like vehicle authorized under 10 U.S.C. §§4021, 4022, and 4023, exempting it from the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984. The program seeks innovative, threat-agnostic host-directed therapeutics that enhance physiological resilience by targeting critical systems such as neurological function, respiratory stability, immune response, hematologic and vascular integrity, and cellular stress and repair pathways. Complementary to this, the government also seeks broad-spectrum therapeutic candidates that can directly neutralize CBRN agents, with emphasis on agents possessing environmental stability, non-cold-chain storage capability, and simplified administration routes like oral, intranasal, or autoinjector formats suitable for immediate use in austere, far-forward operational environments. Interested parties, including MCM developers at any stage from Phase I through FDA licensure and supporting organizations such as CROs, CDMOs, and regulatory experts, must submit a white paper of no more than five pages detailing product mechanisms, efficacy data from validated animal models, regulatory status including IND history and clinical trial results, manufacturing capacity and scale-up plans, and company experience. Collaboration is mandatory, with applicants required to state willingness to team or partner within the PBA ecosystem. Participation requires SAM registration, and all award decisions are based on technical merit and strategic alignment with the program’s mission to build a layered, resilient, and sustainable medical defense portfolio, without fixed deadlines or competitive bidding. The agreement supports the development of dual-use medical solutions with potential applications in civilian critical care, emphasizing ruggedized formulations, clear labeling, durable packaging, and long-term stability to ensure readiness in the most challenging operational conditions. Technical and administrative inquiries should be directed to Hunter Robinson or Alexander Mayatte at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland office.

Validation and Optimization of ONE-STEP Tagging in Human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Solicitation # NIH-NOI-PCA-NIA-01590

The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the validation and optimization of ONE-STEP tagging in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This acquisition aims to support the iPSC Neurodegenerative Disease Initiative (iNDI) and the Center of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (CARD) by generating functionally engineered iPSC lines for research into Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The project involves high-activity guide identification, Bxb1 mRNA and cargo plasmid delivery optimization, and the generation of ADRD variant, MAPT 4R, and wild-type process-control clones. All deliverables must be repository-ready, meeting strict quality control standards including long-read sequencing, karyotype analysis, and SNP arrays to ensure scientific continuity and data integrity. The government intends to award this contract to The Jackson Laboratory, citing them as the only responsible source capable of meeting the requirements under FAR 6.302-1 and FAR 13.501(a). This determination is based on the laboratory's unique continuity with the existing iNDI program, established workflows for specific background lines, and proven success in large-scale CRISPR/Cas9 engineering. The total estimated contract value is 3,353,115.00 dollars, covering a base year from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2027, and an option year extending to August 31, 2028. While this is a sole-source intent, the government will consider capability statements from other sources submitted by August 21, 2026, to determine if adequate competition exists.

Q301--Zymo Epigenome Sequencing Services

Solicitation # 36C24126Q0748

The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the VA Bedford Healthcare System, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Zymo Research Corporation for Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing services. This project involves DNA methylation profiling of 269 post-mortem human choroid plexus tissue samples, encompassing sample handling, quality control, bisulfite conversion, library preparation, sequencing, and data alignment.

This solicitation is for a firm-fixed-price grounds maintenance contract at the Knipling-Bushland U.S. Livestock Insects Research Laboratory in Kerrville, Texas, with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, potentially extending the total performance period to five years. The work includes mowing, edging, weed eating, leaf and debris removal, shrub and hedge trimming four times annually, and two annual applications of a fertilizer/weed killer combination suitable for Bermuda and St. Augustine grass, all performed Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The contractor is responsible for removing and hauling all trash, debris, and grass clippings to an off-site location since no on-site disposal area is available; however, fertilizer and weed control outside the specified twice-yearly applications are not required as they are covered under a separate contract. The total area to be maintained is approximately five acres, with 37 scheduled mowing events and 38 trash pickups planned annually, though the extra pickup in January will be removed to align with the total. Access to the facility is controlled through advance coordination at the front gate; personnel must call in on scheduled days and no security clearance beyond SAM registration is required.

The facility does not provide storage for equipment or supplies, though water access is available. No significant changes to the scope are anticipated during option years, and the contractor must handle missed services due to weather or holidays by coordinating a makeup date with the point of contact. A site visit is recommended but not mandatory, and all quotes must be submitted electronically by 4:00 p.m. CST on August 28, 2026, with detailed descriptions of capability, relevant government experience, and past performance required to be considered responsive.
