Contract A208_P4799839

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University awarded a contract to Sigma-Aldrich Inc. on June 16, 2026, with a cumulative value of fifty-seven dollars. The contracting organization is located in Virginia. The contract encompasses the procurement of specialized molecular biology research materials, specifically single guide RNA (sgRNA) sequences designed for gene editing applications. The line items include twelve distinct sgRNA products targeting murine FABP5 (fatty acid binding protein 5) and mEEF1A2 (eukaryotic elongation factor 1 alpha 2) genes, with both forward and reverse configurations for each target.

All deliverables are directed to Nguyen Phuc at Virginia Tech, with unit prices ranging from $4.32 to $5.04 per item. The sgRNA products are standard molecular biology reagents used in CRISPR-based gene editing research. Individual line item quantities are set at one each, with no specified performance period beyond the award date. These materials support the research operations and experimental requirements of the university's molecular and cellular biology initiatives.
