About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency has issued a Sole Source Justification Notice for Aptagen LLC to generate two Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Aptamer Libraries per year for the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). The contract, identified as HT942525P0045, aims to develop broad-spectrum DNA aptamers capable of neutralizing toxins, with each library containing approximately 1,000-10,000 targeted aptamers that can target four to six viral targets. After market research in September and October 2024 examining three potential sources, Aptagen LLC was determined to be the only viable vendor due to USAMRIID's lack of internal technical expertise for developing these specialized libraries. The twelve-month performance contract includes two optional twelve-month periods and one optional six-month extension, and will be funded through FY25 Defense Health Program Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding. Prior to final award, a Notice of Intent will be posted on www.sam.gov for 15 days to allow potential vendors to submit capability statements, though no specific contract value was disclosed in the documentation.
