The University of Virginia awarded contract A207_PO-0477850 to Sigma-Aldrich Inc on September 8, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $747. This procurement encompasses three specialized laboratory reagents and media products for delivery to Pablo Penataro Yori Sr. The contract line items include KPC ChromoSelect Agar Base NutriSelect ($365 per unit), Imipenem Monohydrate ($240.50 per unit), and KPC ChromoSelect Agar Supplement ($142 per unit), each procured in quantities of one unit.

The materials specified in this award are microbiology laboratory supplies typically utilized in bacteriological identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. KPC ChromoSelect Agar products are chromogenic media systems designed for selective isolation and identification of Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase-producing organisms, while Imipenem Monohydrate is a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic commonly employed in diagnostic testing protocols. The modest contract value and single-unit line items indicate a specialized research or diagnostic application rather than a supply agreement, consistent with the University of Virginia's institutional procurement practices for scientific materials.
