1. Describe why only the proposed contractor is capable of providing the requested supply/service.

The required p24 ELISA assay HIV-1 has been used previously in ongoing HIV trials and experiments. These specific assays will affect the outcome of the quantification process. Changing the type of assays used in this process would be costly to the government as this could result in different results in ongoing clinical trials and experiments. Thus, making previously collected data worthless for comparison sake. This assay has been designed to be used with on-site plate reader PE Inspire.
