STATEMENT OF WORK

(SOW)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Title of Project:

Acquisition of service/maintenance agreement for TOX21 & Kalypys HTS automated cell-based systems for the TOX-GEN group at NCATS.

Project Purpose or Objectives:

The purpose of this requirement is to procure a Service/Maintenance agreement that covers all service repairs, software upgrades, and one Preventative Maintenance (PM) visit (every 12 months) for the TOX21 & Kalypys HTS automated cell-based systems for the TOX-GEN group at NCATS.

Background Information:

The mission of the NCATS is to apply the tools of small molecule screening and discovery to the development of chemical probe research tools, for use in the study of protein and cell functions, and biological processes relevant to physiology and disease. In our research, we need to assess the biological utility of small molecules, prepared in our laboratory. This determination relies on the purity and correct identity of the compound of interest. Here at the NIH Chemical Genomics Center, we are engaged in various research activities, including, but not limited to, high-throughput screening, parallel synthesis, assay optimization and bioconjugate preparation. This is an integral part of our purification instrumentation as it is both an injector and a fraction collector. When integrated into existing equipment, it draws the sample into the system. After the sample flows through the system, this same piece of equipment collects the pure sample into individual test tubes. We need to assess the biological utility of small molecules, prepared in our laboratory. Every experiment done in our lab requires solvent for synthesis and purification, specifically HPLC purification where a high volume of fractions containing purified sample are produced.

This equipment to be maintained increases the current capacity of the lab by allowing more samples to be purified in a shorter period of time. The request is for a Full Service Agreement that covers all service repairs, software upgrades, and one Preventative Maintenance (PM visit for the requested will increase the current capacity of our lab so we can purify more samples in a shorter period of time. The increasing number of chemists in our group synthesizing requires additional equipment to meet the demand of increasing number of target molecules being produced. This is a unique piece of instrumentation. This request is for a Service Agreement that covers all service repairs and one Preventative Maintenance (PM) visit for the specified equipment for one 12-month period. This acquisition will also include three (3) additional option years to be exercised after the base year contract expires.

Period of Performance:

POP to begin and continue through 7/18/24 – 7/17/25, or to begin upon acceptance of PO award by contractor and continue for one calendar year (365 days).

· Option Year 1 (7/18/25 – 7/17/26)

· Option Year 2 (7/18/26 – 7/17/27)

· Option Year 3 (7/18/27 – 7/17/28)
