Sources Sought HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF Ambr 250 or Equal High Throughput Bioreactor System for NIAID VPP
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Vaccine Research Center (VRC), Vaccine Production Program (VPP) is seeking to acquire two (2) Brand Name Sartorius Ambr 250 high-throughput bioreactor systems for its Cell Culture Development (CCD) team for mammalian cell culture clone and growth condition screening processes. This acquisition ensures CCD has a suite of reliable small-scale bioreactors capable of broad screening that will prevent bottlenecks and delays to work.
The high-throughput bioreactor systems must meet specific technical requirements, including being high throughput, 24-way, scale-down model designed for process development. They must also have specific dimensions, electrical requirements, and the ability to support various supplies and processes. Additionally, the systems must be compatible with specific consumables and have features such as automated sampling, control software, and SCADA integration.
The anticipated period of performance is on or about September 27, 2024, with delivery required within 65 days upon award.
Interested organizations are invited to submit a response to this Sources Sought Notice by August 5, 2024, at 3:00 PM EST. The response should include organization information, capability statement, place of manufacture, evidence of authorization, and information on sustainability practices.
