About this award

The National Eye Institute awarded a $22,545 firm fixed price BPA call contract to Research and Diagnostic Systems, Inc. (R&D Systems), a Minneapolis-based manufacturer of biological research materials and subsidiary of Bio-Techne Corporation. The contract, awarded on March 7, 2018, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2018, was issued to procure Activin for a cell therapy project at the Institute. This non-set-aside purchase was executed as a call under an existing blanket purchase agreement, allowing the National Eye Institute to obtain specialized biological reagents through a pre-competed vehicle. R&D Systems has an established track record as a critical supplier to the National Institutes of Health ecosystem, regularly providing recombinant human proteins, growth factors, and specialized research reagents to support biomedical research across multiple NIH institutes.

The procurement reflects the National Eye Institute's research infrastructure needs for cell therapy development, leveraging R&D Systems' expertise in producing high-quality proteins and bioactive reagents. The relatively modest contract value indicates a targeted purchase of specific quantities of Activin, a transforming growth factor superfamily protein commonly used in stem cell and developmental biology research. As a subsidiary of Bio-Techne Corporation, R&D Systems benefits from its parent company's comprehensive portfolio of life sciences tools and established relationships with federal research agencies, positioning it to efficiently fulfill specialized research supply requirements for federal laboratories and clinical research initiatives.
