The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $83,000.00 firm fixed-price purchase order to Poochon Scientific LLC, a minority-owned small business, for Protein Identification of Mixture Samples by LC/MS/MS and Proteomic Profiling of Antisense Oligonucleotide (ASO) Treated Brain Organoids. This non-competitive, commercial item acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) on behalf of NCATS. The requirement involves using brain organoids derived from patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells as a model system to test new hypotheses, establish disease hallmarks, and validate the efficacy of potential ASO therapeutic treatments. There is no set-aside designation for this acquisition.
