This contract has a total small business set-aside designation. The supplies will support research and development activities at the EPA's Office of Research and Development facility in Mountain View, California, and deliver on requirements originally solicited in January 2024 seeking the same supplies for the agency's laboratories in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Neucyte will provide the kits and guarantee pricing for 12 months to meet the EPA's research needs while advancing small business and socioeconomic contracting goals.
