The Department of Agriculture, specifically the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), intends to award a sole source contract to Biocare Medical LLC for the procurement of a Biocare Intellipath+ Automated Slide Staining System, along with installation, training, and maintenance services. This equipment is essential for the Eastern Laboratory Pathology Branch to conduct immunohistochemistry testing protocols on tissue samples, particularly for detecting the influenza A virus in samples submitted by Public Health Veterinarians. The collaboration with the University of Georgia Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory underscores the critical role of this system in enhancing the agency's capabilities to test for infectious livestock pathogens. Interested parties may submit capability statements via email to Angela Carey at angela.carey@usda.gov, as no solicitation document exists for this requirement.
