AI Contract Overview

The National Institutes of Health, Office of the Director, Office of Acquisitions, intends to award a sole-source firm fixed price purchase order to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Somerville, Massachusetts, for the continuation of an existing research project focused on multi-dimensional sleep health and DNA methylation signatures. The requirement involves retrieving 821 previously collected blood samples from the hospital’s biorepository, processing them into aliquots, preparing a 10% quality control subset, labeling and documenting all samples, conducting quality control checks, and shipping them in compliance with biospecimen regulations to the National Institute on Aging Laboratory of Neurogenetics. The performance period is strictly limited to three months, from June 1, 2026, to August 1, 2026, with no option periods or extensions envisioned. This procurement is conducted under the streamlined authority of FAR Part 12.603 and statutory authority under FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(ii), justifying non-competitive award because Brigham and Women’s Hospital is the sole entity in possession of the required biospecimens and the only organization with trained personnel qualified to handle and process them, making transfer or replication impossible without compromising the scientific integrity of the study. The acquisition, classified under NAICS code 541715 with a 1,000-employee size standard, is not set aside for small businesses and does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. All responsible sources may submit capability statements by May 30, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EST, but the government retains full discretion to proceed non-competitively based on the unique circumstances. Responses must include unit price, shipping costs, delivery period, F.O.B. point, UEI and TIN, business size certification, and proof of active SAM registration, and must be emailed to the designated contracting specialists. Though specific packaging protocols, temperature controls, or labeling formats are not detailed, compliance with federal biospecimen handling and shipping regulations is mandatory. No formal evaluation factors or technical scoring criteria will be applied, as the award decision is driven exclusively by the absence of alternative capable sources.

II. REGULATORY AUTHORITY
The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2026-01

III. STATUTORY AUTHORITY

IV. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT:

A. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES:

The purpose of the present request is to continue and operationalize this existing project by retrieving the previously collected blood samples from the BWH Biorepository, processing them into aliquots, and shipping them to the NIA Laboratory of Neurogenetics for the planned assays.

B. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:

OA anticipates a firm fixed price purchase order. This requirement shall consist of a 3-month base period. Period of performance will be June 1, 2026, through August 1, 2026.

C. PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:
The Contractor shall be responsible for preventative maintenance and on-demand repair services for parts and software. The service may only be completed by an authorized Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) service provider. Independently and not as an agent of the Government, the Contractor shall furnish all the necessary services, qualified personnel,
material, equipment, and facilities, not otherwise provided by the Government as needed to perform the Statement of Work below:

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS:
The contractor shall provide a trained laboratory technician and research assistant to perform the following specific tasks:
• Retrieve 821 stored blood samples from biorepository
• Aliquot white blood cell samples into specified volumes and containers.
• Prepare 10% quality control samples
• Label, document, and perform quality control checks.
• Package and ship samples to the NIA Laboratory of Neurogenetics in compliance with biospecimen handling and shipping regulations.

V. CONTRACTING WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME) DETERMINATION
The determination by the Government to award a contract without providing for full and open competition is based upon the market research conducted. Specifically, Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Inc is the only vendor in the marketplace that can provide the services required by NIH OD OA. The biorepository samples are currently with BWH, and they have the necessary trained personnel to handle the transport of the samples to NIA Laboratory of Neurogenetics for the planned assays. This work is not a new initiative but the continuation of an existing project. Assay kits have already been purchased under prior funding, and the current project is to obtain these specific samples required to complete the assays for answering the scientific questions.
In accordance with FAR part 10, extensive market research was conducted to reach this determination. Additionally, contacts with knowledgeable individuals both in industry and Government, as well as reviews of available product literature, revealed no other sources. Finally, a review of the GSA Advantage, Dynamic Small Business Search, and previous government acquisitions returned no results that meet all of the requirements. Therefore, only Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Inc can meet the needs of this requirement.
