H4522100MLHuman Serum from human male AB plasma

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) awarded a contract to Sigma-Aldrich Inc. on October 5, 2026, for the procurement of human serum derived from human male AB plasma. The contract, identified as A236_P0357684, involves the delivery of six units of human serum (catalog number H4522100ML) to VCU Procurement at a unit price of $289 per item, resulting in a cumulative contract value of $1,734.00. This contract represents a direct procurement of biological materials necessary for laboratory and research applications at the Virginia higher education institution.

The award was made by Virginia Commonwealth University's contracting office to the prime contractor Sigma-Aldrich Inc., a supplier specializing in laboratory chemicals and biological products. Performance of this contract is centered at VCU's procurement facilities in Virginia. The relatively modest contract value and discrete line item specification indicate this is a routine materials procurement to support ongoing institutional research and laboratory operations rather than a complex service delivery engagement.
