The National Institute on Aging, through its Center for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias, intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price contract to The Jackson Laboratory for the expansion, quality control, curation, biobanking, and public distribution of up to 936 isogenic induced pluripotent stem cell lines supporting the iPSC Neurodegenerative Disease Initiative. The requirement includes 486 female SNV lines and 450 additional lines derived from 25 high-priority SNV trios across six engineered cell lines, all developed using CRISPR-Cas12a technology based on gene variants provided by the government. The contractor must expand and validate each line according to strict iNDI protocols, which mandate post-thaw viability exceeding 80% for manual expansion or 50% confluency within 10 days for automated expansion, negative sterility results across bacterial, fungal, viral, and mycoplasma panels, confirmation of intended genetic edits via PCR and Sanger sequencing, absence of reprogramming vectors, normal karyotype via SNP-based digital karyotyping, and pluripotency marker expression confirmed by RNA sequencing. Each cell line must be accompanied by comprehensive quality control documentation and curated product web content, with all lines made available for public purchase through a contractor-hosted platform that maintains continuity with existing iNDI resources. The contract includes a base year from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, and three optional one-year extensions through August 31, 2030, with performance to occur exclusively at The Jackson Laboratory’s facility in Bar Harbor, Maine. The authority for sole source acquisition is based on 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 6.302-1, as The Jackson Laboratory is the only known entity capable of delivering the required cell lines and infrastructure, having previously executed similar iNDI tasks and maintaining the existing distribution platform. The government has issued a notice of intent and invites capability statements from other responsible sources by June 23, 2026, to evaluate potential for competition, though no competitive solicitation is currently planned. Responses must include company identification, UEI and CAGE codes, business size and socioeconomic status, technical point of contact details, a narrative demonstrating capability to meet all technical requirements, and relevant past performance evidence, all submitted electronically to the designated contracting officers.

The anticipated contract will provide for the expansion, quality control, curation, biobanking, and distribution of up to 936 isogenic Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines in support of the iPSC Neurodegenerative Disease Initiative (iNDI). The requirement includes:


  • FA13.1J female SNV lines totaling 486 iPSC lines;
  • 25 high-priority SNV trios across six additional iPSC lines totaling 450 iPSC lines;
  • expansion and quality control in accordance with current iNDI protocols;
  • product and web content creation for each iPSC line; and
  • public distribution of cell lines through an established contractor-hosted website/platform.

The statutory authority for this acquisition is 41 U.S.C. 1901, as implemented by FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii), based on the circumstances described in FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

CSS - Upgrading PExA 2.1 to Vial-Based (PExA Cap)
Solicitation # 75N98027Q00044
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of the Director, is seeking a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order under solicitation 75N98027Q00044 to upgrade a Government-owned PExA 2.1 instrument to PExA Cap functionality. This upgrade, intended for the Laboratory for Chronic Airway Infections, converts the existing paper-based collection mechanism to a vial-based system to eliminate post-collection substrate processing and improve analyte detectability. The scope of work includes the factory-level installation, servicing, and calibration of the instrument, the provision of 100 disposable sample kits, and a minimum one-year warranty. The contractor is also responsible for the fully insured, round-trip door-to-door transport of the sensitive scientific equipment between the contractor's facility and the NIH site in Bethesda, Maryland, using a carrier experienced in handling medical instrumentation. This unrestricted acquisition is conducted under FAR Subpart 12.6 for commercial items and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The Government will award the contract based on best value, where technical capability, past performance, and delivery schedule are collectively considered significantly more important than price. While PExA AB of Gothenburg, Sweden is the brand name reference, the solicitation allows for equal products provided they meet all salient functional and performance characteristics. Proposals must be submitted by November 12, 2026, and must include the offeror's UEI, TIN, business size certification, and the country of origin for all supplies.
