The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR), Division of Genetic and Molecular Toxicology (DGMT) anticipate requirements for their collaborative research project involving liquids with low vapor pressures. DGMT requires equipment that is able to aerosolize compounds such as aldehydes and benzene. The compounds need to be heated to a vapor so the cell cultures can be exposed to the vapor thus the need for a high temp spiking system. The equipment/system must also be capable to be used with gases.

The project involves exposing human cells in ALI cultures used in the cytotoxicity assays to vaporized volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). This equipment will be used to conduct the studies outlined above to provide needed data to determine the risks associated with exposure to specific levels of VOCs, thus filling in data-gaps that exist in risk assessment models. In addition, the equipment will allow the FDA to be able to quantify the toxicity of VOCs for evaluating the relative toxicity of these chemicals and developing biomarkers of harm for chemicals of regulatory concerns. Annual quantities are estimates only, more or less quantities may be ordered as needed. A Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery, Requirements contract is anticipated.

Estimated maximum amount is not to exceed $700,000 though this can be increased via a bilateral modification to the contract.
