Supply of VIDAS Assay Strips and Reagents

The contract outlines the supply of VIDAS assay strips and reagents for use in automated immunoassay testing systems to detect harmful pathogens including Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli in both food and clinical samples. These reagents are critical for rapid and accurate pathogen identification, supporting public health monitoring and food safety standards. The procurement is structured as a subcontract under the FDA Office of Acquisition and Grant Services, operating within the Department of Health and Human Services, with the NAICS code 325412 indicating classification within the in-vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing sector. The solicitation was posted on May 7, 2026, with a firm response deadline of May 15, 2026, at 7:00 PM, requiring timely submission from eligible suppliers. Although the place of performance and point of contact details are not specified, the scope implies nationwide use of the reagents across FDA-regulated laboratories and testing facilities. The absence of a set-aside designation suggests open competition among qualified vendors with the capacity to deliver compliant, high-integrity diagnostic materials on schedule.
