This $85,000.00 firm fixed price purchase order was awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a civilian agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, to Life Technologies Corporation (a division of Thermo Fisher Scientific) on January 25, 2017. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for the delivery of specialized biotechnology products and services to support NIAID's biomedical research and healthcare initiatives. As a prime contractor, Life Technologies has delivered genetic analyzers, reagents, assays, instruments, and associated repair services to federal agencies like the NIH, DoD, USDA, and DOJ. This purchase order is likely part of a larger indefinite delivery vehicle contract that Life Technologies holds with NIAID to provide laboratory equipment, genetic analysis technologies, and scientific instruments on an ongoing basis.
