AI Contract Overview
The National Institutes of Health, Clinical Center intends to enter into a sole-source agreement with ThermoFisher Scientific’s Phadia Immunology Reference Laboratory for specialized anti-alpha-gal ImmunoCAP testing to support research blood donor programs. This effort is grounded in the statutory authority that permits non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source exists and no alternative service can meet the agency’s specific requirements, with the Phadia system being uniquely qualified to deliver calibrated, reliable, and efficient allergy and autoimmune diagnostics including total immunoglobulin E and alpha-gal measurements. The acquisition is not a request for proposals but a notice of intent, allowing other potential providers to submit capability statements by August 2, 2026, to evaluate whether competition is feasible, though the government retains full discretion to proceed without opening the requirement to bids. Testing will be performed at the Phadia Core Laboratory in Bethesda, Maryland, under NAICS code 325413, with all responses must be submitted via email to the designated point of contact before the deadline.
