The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center intends to award a one-year, firm-fixed-price contract to Roche Diagnostics Corporation for an automated molecular diagnostic testing platform via a reagent rental arrangement. Running from August 18, 2026, to August 17, 2027, with an estimated value of $350,000, the procurement focuses on implementing the Roche cobas 5800 system. This platform will centralize testing for CMV, EBV, BKV, and various respiratory viruses, replacing fragmented systems to reduce manual handling, minimize transcription errors, and transition from laboratory-developed tests to FDA-cleared assays. The scope includes the provision of instrumentation, reagents, controls, calibrators, consumables, technical support, operator training, and warranty coverage. This acquisition is being conducted as a sole-source procurement under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, specifically subpart 13.106-1(b)(1), as Roche is determined to be the only reasonably available source capable of meeting the laboratory's requirements for instrument redundancy, footprint efficiency, and operational continuity. The place of performance is the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. This notice serves as an intent to sole source rather than a request for quotations; interested parties may submit comments to Contract Specialist Ryssa Nix by August 16, 2026.

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.

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.
