AI Contract Overview

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed price purchase order under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures for the continued cGMP-compliant cryogenic storage and maintenance of four qualified cell banks—Master Cell Banks and Working Cell Banks—for Vero, MDCK, and Expi293F™ cell lines essential to influenza vaccine production. The contract action is justified as a sole source because BioReliance Solutions, the incumbent provider, is the only entity capable of maintaining uninterrupted storage under validated, continuously monitored liquid nitrogen or colder cryogenic systems without introducing unacceptable regulatory, operational, or financial risk related to cell viability, contamination, or compliance with FDA guidelines. Transfer of the cell banks to another facility is explicitly prohibited due to the high risk of material degradation and loss of regulatory traceability. The performance location is Rockville, Maryland, where the cell banks are currently stored, and the contract includes a base year with four optional one-year extensions, for a potential five-year period. Only one award will be made, and no competitive solicitation will be conducted; however, small businesses, including 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and women-owned entities, may submit written capability statements demonstrating their ability to meet the requirement, though such submissions will not trigger competitive evaluation. The procurement is governed by cGMP and FDA regulatory standards, requiring secure storage with environmental monitoring, chain-of-custody documentation, and complete recordkeeping to support vaccine manufacturing readiness. The Contracting Officer is Debra Baker of CDC’s Office of Acquisition Services, with submissions due by May 22, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST via email. The NAICS code is 493120 for Cold Storage Locker Services, and no contract value has been disclosed. Security, compliance, and operational continuity are paramount, with no physical transfer of materials permitted and no formal evaluation factors applied due to the non-competitive nature of the acquisition.
