About this file
This document is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of two (2) automated liquid handling systems for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Vaccine Production Program (VPP), at the Vaccine Research Center (VRC).
The key requirements are for two automated liquid handling systems - one for early phase purification development microchromatography with biolayer interferometry detection, and one for purification screening and upstream process development microchromatography. The systems must meet detailed technical specifications outlined in the Statement of Needs, including capabilities for microplate handling, liquid chromatography integration, and future expansion. The solicitation is being competed as full and open competition, with brand name or equal considered. Quotes are due by September 23, 2024, with an estimated 65-day delivery timeframe upon award. Awards may be made to up to two responsible vendors, but preference is for a single comprehensive solution. Evaluation will be based on technical acceptability, past performance, and price.
