AI Contract Overview
The National Institutes of Health, Office of the Director, intends to award a non-competitive, firm-fixed price contract to GemPharmatech LLC for the evaluation of a lead NNMT inhibitor using a humanized nicotinamide N-methyltransferase mouse model, a model uniquely developed and maintained by GemPharmatech under prior NIH funding. This acquisition is conducted under streamlined commercial item procedures and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, with authority derived from FAR 12.603 and 41 U.S.C. 1901, and justified under the sole source exception for unique capabilities, as GemPharmatech is the only entity with the cryopreserved sperm and breeding resources necessary to regenerate the required mouse colony essential for generating scientifically relevant efficacy data due to the inhibitor's species-specific activity. The solicitation number is 75N98026Q00941, issued as a combined synopsis and solicitation without competitive procedures, and responses are due by August 19, 2026. The work falls under NAICS code 541714 for Research and Development in Biotechnology with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees, and this requirement is not set aside for small business. The contract will be managed by the NIH Office of Acquisitions based in Bethesda, Maryland, with the primary point of contact being Johnstona C. Johnston, reachable via email. All provisions and clauses follow those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular dated August 4, 2026, and the notice serves as the complete and only solicitation document; no additional written solicitation will be issued.
