Sole Source - Production of ChAdOx-1 and MVA expressing mouse gp70

Solicitation # 75N98026Q00996

The National Cancer Institute intends to award a sole-source, firm fixed price contract under solicitation RFQ 75N98026Q00996 to the Viral Vector Core at the Pandemic Institute, University of Oxford. The project involves the design and production of ChAdOx-1 and MVA viral vectors expressing mouse gp70 and the mouse class II major histocompatibility complex invariant chain. This research is critical for evaluating vaccine efficacy against breast cancer brain metastasis, utilizing proprietary chimpanzee adenovirus technology to avoid pre-existing human adenovirus immunity. The contract falls under NAICS code 541714 for biotechnology research and development and has a performance period of six months from the date of award. Payment terms are set at net 30 days following the acceptance of deliverables. While intended as a sole-source procurement due to the proprietary nature of the technology, the agency will consider capability statements from other interested parties submitted by August 24, 2026.

Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Medical Countermeasure (MCM) Participant Basic Agreement (PBA)

Solicitation # W911SR-26-R-HEAL

The Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Medical Countermeasure (MCM) Participant Basic Agreement (PBA) is a continuous, open solicitation designed to establish a dynamic, pre-qualified network of partners to accelerate the development and fielding of next-generation medical defenses against CBRN threats. Operated by the Capability Program Executive for CBRN Defense (CPE CBRND) under the Department of Defense, this agreement functions as an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ)-like vehicle authorized under 10 U.S.C. §§4021, 4022, and 4023, exempting it from the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984. The program seeks innovative, threat-agnostic host-directed therapeutics that enhance physiological resilience by targeting critical systems such as neurological function, respiratory stability, immune response, hematologic and vascular integrity, and cellular stress and repair pathways. Complementary to this, the government also seeks broad-spectrum therapeutic candidates that can directly neutralize CBRN agents, with emphasis on agents possessing environmental stability, non-cold-chain storage capability, and simplified administration routes like oral, intranasal, or autoinjector formats suitable for immediate use in austere, far-forward operational environments. Interested parties, including MCM developers at any stage from Phase I through FDA licensure and supporting organizations such as CROs, CDMOs, and regulatory experts, must submit a white paper of no more than five pages detailing product mechanisms, efficacy data from validated animal models, regulatory status including IND history and clinical trial results, manufacturing capacity and scale-up plans, and company experience. Collaboration is mandatory, with applicants required to state willingness to team or partner within the PBA ecosystem. Participation requires SAM registration, and all award decisions are based on technical merit and strategic alignment with the program’s mission to build a layered, resilient, and sustainable medical defense portfolio, without fixed deadlines or competitive bidding. The agreement supports the development of dual-use medical solutions with potential applications in civilian critical care, emphasizing ruggedized formulations, clear labeling, durable packaging, and long-term stability to ensure readiness in the most challenging operational conditions. Technical and administrative inquiries should be directed to Hunter Robinson or Alexander Mayatte at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland office.

Skin commensal sequencing

Solicitation # 75N98026Q01038

The National Institutes of Health intends to award a non-competitive contract for skin commensal sequencing to SeqCoast Genomic LLC. This procurement, identified by synopsis number 75N98026Q01038, falls under NAICS code 541714 and is being conducted via Simplified Acquisition Procedures for an amount not exceeding 350,000 dollars. The project supports the laboratory of Julie Segre in studying the human skin microbiome by extracting and sequencing genomes of skin commensal organisms to streamline workflows and reduce costs for ongoing research. Interested parties must submit their capabilities, including a technical and cost-price proposal, by August 31, 2026, at 9:00 AM Eastern time. All submissions must be sent electronically to the contracting officer and require an active registration in the System for Award Management. While the government intends to proceed on a non-competitive basis, it will review submitted capability statements to determine if a competitive procurement is necessary.

Nanobody against NPR-C for growth disorder

Solicitation # 75N98026Q01031

This project focuses on the development of high-affinity and specific VHH nanobodies against human NPR-C to create potential therapeutics for growth disorders like achondroplasia. The scope of work involves two possible development tracks: phage/yeast display using immunized libraries or single B-cell cloning. The process includes antigen generation, alpaca or llama immunization, library construction or B-cell isolation, and rigorous screening and sequencing to identify unique clones. The final goal is to produce and characterize at least 10 unique VHH-Fc candidates with a target affinity of KD=10nM or better, ensuring no cross-reactivity with NPR-B. The project is expected to be completed within four to six months, with deliverables including serum titer reports, sequence data, purified antibodies, and a final summary report. The NIH retains all intellectual property ownership of the resulting antibodies and data. Out of scope activities include humanization, affinity maturation, GMP manufacturing, and stable cell line development. The contract follows a milestone-based payout structure and requires vendors to comply with IACUC-equivalent animal welfare standards.

Pre-solicitation Notice: On-Ramp for the Department of Defense OMNIBUS IV Multiple-Award Contract

Solicitation # HT942626RE002

The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity is preparing to issue an on-ramp to the OMNIBUS IV Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract vehicle, which supports military medical research and development services across four distinct market segments: medical research and development support, general research and development support, regulatory processes for human and animal research, and translational science services for moving innovations from laboratory to clinical practice. This on-ramp opportunity is exclusively set-aside for small businesses certified under the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Program, with the aim of expanding the pool of qualified contractors while maintaining alignment with the existing unrestricted contract vehicle. The OMNIBUS IV IDIQ has a cumulative ceiling of $10 billion and has already generated over $600 million in task order awards across 51 task orders since its base period began in 2022, with the majority of activity occurring in fiscal years 2024 through 2026. Task orders are competitively awarded, including set-asides for 8(a) participants, and may be issued by various DoD entities including DHACA, the Naval Supply Systems Command, and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. The upcoming solicitation, expected to be posted on SAM.gov in late February 2026, follows a delay to align with the February 2026 implementation of the FAR Overhaul, which significantly impacts how small business status is handled under unrestricted IDIQ contracts. Under the new rules, contractors do not need to recertify their small business status at the task order level when bidding on 8(a)-set-aside work, as they may rely on their original IDIQ-level size and status representation—even if they have graduated from the 8(a) Program or grown beyond small business size thresholds. However, contractors must still recertify their status at the IDIQ level within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth contract year, in compliance with FAR 19.301-2(b)(1)(iii)(A). Proposals must be submitted via the PIEE Solicitation module using a SAM.gov-registered account, and while the initial pre-solicitation notice provides the framework and intent, detailed evaluation criteria, submission instructions, and contract clauses will be formally outlined in the forthcoming RFP. All awards under this on-ramp will be made to small business 8(a) participants, and the government anticipates issuing multiple new contracts
