Purchase Order 75N90025P00748

The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center awarded a $54,005.63 firm fixed-price purchase order to VWR International LLC on September 19, 2025, for the provision of pharmaceutical current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) cleaning supplies. The contract, with a completion date of September 18, 2026, addresses the specialized contamination control requirements for NIH biologics manufacturing sites and aseptic processing areas at Building 10 in Bethesda, Maryland. The procurement was conducted as a sole source negotiation, with no set-aside designation applied. The Bill of Materials specifies seven different product types including DECON-AHOL 70% trigger spray, Vesphene III and LPH III disinfectants, bucket liners, mops, and sterile wipers across multiple case quantities, with the supplies to be sourced from VWR International's Wayne, Pennsylvania facility.

VWR International was uniquely positioned as the incumbent provider and sole source contractor, justified by its exclusive capability to provide the required Certificates of Analysis, Certificates of Conformance, packing inserts, and specialized website-based tracking system necessary for Joint Commission and FDA cGMP pharmaceutical development compliance. These cGMP-compliant cleaning supplies are critical for the NIH Clinical Center's MMESD Storage & Distribution Section to maintain regulatory standards across laboratory, research, and medical facilities. VWR International, a prominent for-profit manufacturer and supplier of laboratory equipment and scientific products headquartered in Pennsylvania, has an established track record as a key federal vendor, including a $20 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Defense Health Agency effective through February 2026.
