This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a fixed priced purchase order on a sole source basis to VWR INTERNATIONAL, LLC., Westchester, PA 19380, United States, UEI: J6CNECEBTK23 for the Clinical Center/ Materials Management and Environmental Services Department (MMESD)

The Food and Drug Administration and international certified Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations, especially those on sterile manufacturing, require stringent cleaning and hygiene programs in pharmaceutical manufacturing areas.  The Regulations require that aseptically produced biologics be produced in a cleanroom environment.  A critical component to contamination control is the cleaning program for the controlled areas, which must be well-defined, contain detailed cleaning processes that must be stringently followed by highly trained and competent cleaning staff, and use appropriate, in some cases sterile, and dedicated cleaning supplies and equipment.    

The NIH Clinical Center, MMESD, Storage & Distribution Section must obtain cGMP Cleaning Supplies.

The MMESD, Storage & Distribution Section has a requirement for contamination control cleaning supplies for NIH biologics manufacturing sites and aseptic processing areas at the NIH CC (Bldg. 10) on the Bethesda, MD campus.  It is vital that the Contractor provides Certificates for Analysis (COA), Certificates of Conformance and Packing Inserts in each packaged case of supplies. The requirement is to obtain cleaning supplies for the NIH, Clinical Center cGMP Clean Rooms for delivery to Building 10, Room B2C-123 Bethesda, Maryland. It is critical to adequately clean these rooms with the needed Government approved cleaning supplies to be able to pass the Joint Commission and FDA Certifications for cGMP pharmaceutical development practices.
