Flow Cytometry Reagent Supply – CD16 Marker

The contract pertains to the supply of a specialized flow cytometry reagent, CD16 PE B73.1 ASR, designed for the detection of CD16 (FcγRIII) expressed on natural killer cells and macrophages. This reagent is critical for immunological research and diagnostic applications requiring precise identification of cell surface markers involved in immune response pathways. The agreement is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically managed by the 257-NETWORK Contract Office 17, and is categorized under NAICS code 325414, indicating it involves the manufacturing of pharmaceutical preparations. The reagent is intended for research use only, as indicated by its ASR designation, and must meet strict quality and performance standards to ensure accurate and reproducible results in cytometric analysis. The contract was posted on April 27, 2026, and while specific performance locations and point of contact details are not provided, the procurement is directed toward a supplier capable of consistently delivering this specialized reagent to support ongoing medical and scientific initiatives under the Veterans Affairs network. The absence of a solicitation number or set-aside classification suggests this is a streamlined or direct award within an existing contractual framework. The focus remains on securing a reliable source for a high-purity, conjugated antibody reagent essential for cellular phenotype analysis in immunotherapy and related research activities.
