The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Biosearch Technologies, Inc. for the production of proprietary PCR kits essential for the Laboratory Response Network (LRN). The procurement aims to ensure a consistent supply of reagents necessary for detecting biothreat agents and emerging infectious diseases, which are critical for national preparedness and response capabilities. These kits, which must comply with FDA quality standards, are vital for high-security laboratories and are designed to identify various bioterrorism agents. Interested parties may submit capability statements or proposals to Matthew Nelson at mnelson2@cdc.gov by November 7, 2024, at 3:30 PM EST for consideration.
