AI Contract Overview
The Food and Drug Administration is planning to award a sole source firm-fixed price purchase order to The University of Liverpool under simplified acquisition procedures for the sequencing of Bundibugyo virus disease during the 2026 outbreak, relying on FAR Part 6.103-1 which permits non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source exists. This action falls under the NAICS code 541714 for Research and Development in Biotechnology and is not open for competitive bidding, as the FDA has determined that The University of Liverpool is the only entity with the necessary expertise and capacity to meet the technical requirements for this highly specific viral sequencing effort. The contract is intended to support bioanalytical method development and sample analysis by providing critical reagents and reference standards for quantifying CYP enzyme substrates and metabolites in hepatocyte experiments during the outbreak response. Responses to this notice must be submitted by Ryan Alexander at ryan.alexander@fda.hhs.gov no later than 5:00 pm on July 29, 2026, and must include a detailed capability statement for any other organization seeking consideration, though the government retains full discretion to determine whether a response justifies competitive solicitation. The procurement is not a request for competitive quotes, and no set-aside is being applied. The contract will be administered from the FDA’s office in Rockville, Maryland, with performance primarily occurring in Liverpool, England, and the solicitation number is OC-2026-135667, issued on July 24, 2026.
