Version 11-30-2016-1 FAR Part 11—Describing Agency Needs

PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

1. Statement of Need and Purpose: The objective of this procurement is to acquire SPT Labtech NMR Receivers and Sender Assembly. These items will serve as integrated automated sample transport interfaces, facilitating the automated delivery of analytical samples to remote analytical instrumentation. The units will be incorporated into an automated reaction preparation and screening platform currently being assembled for NCATS. This integration is aimed at enhancing the efficiency and efficacy of the platform’s operation.

2. Background Information and Objective: The ASPIRE (A Specialized Platform for Innovative Research Exploration) initiative, spearheaded by NCATS, is designed to expedite the preclinical phase of drug discovery. This will be achieved through the seamless integration of automated synthetic chemistry and high-throughput biology with cutting-edge information technologies and AI/ML algorithms. The synergy of these disciplines under ASPIRE aims to empower scientists to venture into previously uncharted areas of biologically active chemical space, potentially unlocking novel avenues for therapeutic intervention.

The Reaction Preparation and Screening platform is a unique, tailor-made modular system designed to address the demands of a modern high throughput experimentation and accelerate the development of small molecules for drug discovery at NCATS/NIH. We now require SPT Labtech NMR Receivers and Sender Assembly to be used as automated analytical sample delivery interfaces for this platform. SPT Labtech is the vendor used to procure a Lab2Lab system which is a scalable analytical sample delivery infrastructure already in place at NCATS that enables automated systematic delivery of analytical samples to a bank of remotely located analytical instruments (e.g. HPLC, NMR, GC, etc).

The Reaction Preparation and Screening platform under development is capable of generating large numbers of analytical samples requiring immediate analysis across any given 24-hour period thus requiring an efficient automated delivery of such samples – and thus requires a custom physical interface from Lab2Lab to allow sample transport through NCATS’ existing Lab2Lab infrastructure.
