The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center plans to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order to BioLife Solutions for 80 bags of CryoStor® CS10, 100 mL, used exclusively for cryopreserving cell therapy products in FDA-regulated clinical trials. The product is essential to the Center for Cellular Engineering’s manufacturing processes, having been rigorously validated and approved by quality assurance to ensure the safety and consistency of therapies administered to patients. Substituting an alternative cryoprotectant would necessitate extensive revalidation, leading to significant delays, increased costs, and potential disruption to patient care. CryoStor® CS10 is the only commercial cryoprotectant with an FDA Master File and is the only product fully qualified for use in the NIH’s regulated environment, justifying the sole-source designation under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The acquisition supports critical clinical research operations at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, under PSC 6550 and NAICS 325413. While the notice does not request formal proposals, responsible parties may submit capability statements by August 13, 2026, though the government reserves the right to proceed without competition. All submissions must reference solicitation number 26-007655 and be sent electronically to Shasheshe Goolsby at the NIH Office of Acquisitions and Logistics Management.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT


Title: CryoStor® CS10, 100 mL Bags for Cell Therapy Manufacturing
Notice ID (POTS): 26-007655
Product Service Code (PSC): 6550 – In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits, and Sets
NAICS Code: 325413 – In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing
Place of Performance: National Institutes of Health
Clinical Center
Bethesda, MD 20892


Notice


The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center intends to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order to BioLife Solutions for CryoStor® CS10, 100 mL bags required by the Center for Cellular Engineering (CCE) for the cryopreservation of FDA-regulated cell therapy products used in NIH clinical trials.


Requirement


The Center for Cellular Engineering (CCE) uses CryoStor® CS10 to cryopreserve cell-based therapies for patients enrolled in clinical trials at the NIH Clinical Center. The material has been validated for use in CCE manufacturing processes to ensure it consistently meets the quality standards required to produce safe and effective cell therapy products. The reagent has also been approved by the CCE Quality Assurance Department. Substituting an alternate cryoprotectant would require extensive revalidation of manufacturing processes, resulting in increased costs, schedule delays, and potential impacts to patient care.


The following items are required for this action:


Catalog Number/Description/Quantity


210202/CryoStor CS10 - 100mL Bag/80 Bags


Sole-Source Rationale


CryoStor® CS10 is the only commercial cryoprotectant with an FDA Master File and has been validated for CCE manufacturing protocols. BioLife Solutions is the manufacturer of the validated product used in CCE's FDA-regulated processes. Substituting another cryoprotectant would require extensive testing and requalification, delaying patient treatment and increasing costs.


Authority


The intended sole-source acquisition is authorized under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which permits solicitation from a single source when the Contracting Officer determines that only one source is reasonably available for an acquisition not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.


Capability Statements


This notice is not a request for quotations or proposals. Responsible sources that believe they can satisfy the Government's requirement may submit a written capability statement. The Government will evaluate all capability statements received; however, the determination not to compete this requirement remains solely within the Government's discretion.


Submission Instructions


Capability statements shall reference POTS 26-007655 and must be submitted electronically no later than August 13, 2026, at 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time (ET).

Fisher Scientific Reagents and Consumable Materials for Cell Therapy Manufacturing
Solicitation # 26-008155
The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center plans to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order to Fisher Scientific for validated reagents and consumable materials essential to the manufacturing of FDA-regulated cell-based therapies used in NIH clinical trials. These materials have been rigorously validated and approved by the Center for Cellular Engineering’s Quality Assurance Department to ensure consistent quality, safety, and efficacy in producing cell therapies for patient care. Any substitution of these materials would necessitate extensive and costly revalidation of manufacturing processes, leading to significant delays and potential risks to ongoing clinical trials, making Fisher Scientific the only viable supplier capable of providing the required validated products and supporting documentation compliant with federal regulatory standards. The acquisition is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which allows for single-source procurement when only one provider can meet the government’s specific requirements, and the value does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The product service code is 6550, and the NAICS code is 325413, classifying the items as in-vitro diagnostic substances. Performance will occur at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. While this notice does not solicit bids or proposals, responsible parties may submit capability statements by August 13, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, referencing POTS 26-008155, though the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition.

The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center plans to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to ChemoMetec, Inc. for annual preventative maintenance and service support of seventeen proprietary NC-202 instruments used in FDA-regulated cell therapy manufacturing at the Center for Cellular Engineering. These instruments are essential for patient-specific therapy production and must remain in validated operating condition to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices and ensure uninterrupted patient care. The scope of work includes preventative maintenance, calibration, software updates and patches, inspections, troubleshooting, repair support, and replacement of proprietary service parts, all of which require manufacturer-specific tools, software access, and expertise only ChemoMetec can provide. The contract covers seventeen specific instruments identified by serial number and is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and the absence of alternative sources capable of maintaining regulatory compliance and operational integrity. Failure to use authorized service could result in manufacturing interruptions, regulatory noncompliance, and costly requalification efforts. While the notice does not solicit competing bids, responsible parties may submit capability statements by August 13, 2026, to be considered, though the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition. All services will be performed at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and inquiries should be directed to Shasheshe Goolsby of the Hospital and Laboratory Support Division.
