Supply of Reagents and Consumables for SOMAmer Proteomics

The contract seeks ongoing supply of SOMAmer reagents, kits, and consumables necessary for high-throughput proteomic analysis utilizing the Illumina platform, ensuring consistent availability of critical materials for advanced protein detection and quantification. The agreement is structured as a subcontract under the National Institutes of Health, operating through the Department of Health and Human Services, with performance expected to center at the Bethesda location, zip code 20892, where the infrastructure and expertise for large-scale proteomics are established. The solicitation, posted on July 20, 2026, requires proposals to be submitted by July 30, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 424690, categorizing it as other medical and surgical sundries merchant wholesalers, indicating the nature of the goods being procured as specialized laboratory supplies rather than direct research services. The contract does not specify set-aside conditions or a designated point of contact, suggesting a streamlined procurement process likely intended for experienced suppliers familiar with the technical demands of SOMAmer-based proteomics workflows. Suppliers must be prepared to deliver consistent, high-quality reagents compatible with Illumina’s platforms, adhering to strict quality control standards to support continuous, high-volume data generation in proteomic studies funded or overseen by NIH. Delivery schedules, stability specifications, and validation documentation for each batch of reagents are likely critical components of the vendor’s responsibility, though not explicitly detailed in the posted information.
