Fisher BPA

The contract is a one-year purchase agreement with Fisher Scientific to supply general laboratory consumables and reagents essential for OPQR testing, which supports the Food and Drug Administration's mission to ensure the quality of medicines approved for human use.

The use of a widely recognized vendor helps maintain consistent testing throughput and supports the agency’s regulatory responsibilities. Oversight and coordination are managed through designated points of contact within the agency, with the contracting officer position yet to be assigned. The solicitation is forecasted under the NAICS code 325199, focusing on chemicals and allied products manufacturing relevant to the laboratory consumables needed.
