About this opportunity

The National Institutes of Health, Office of the Director, Office of Acquisitions, intends to award a firm fix-price contract on a non-competitive basis to Oxford StemTech Ltd for scientific support services in quality control and characterization of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and organoids, with proposals due July 31, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. This is a non-competitive combined synopsis/solicitation under FAR 12.603 and does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

Place of performance is 4D18, Building 10, 10 Center Drive, Bethesda, Maryland. The work encompasses two phases: Phase 1 requires quality assessment of 94 iPSC lines representing 2 lines each from 47 individuals across 9 karyotype groups (XO, XX, XXX, XXXX, XY, XXY, XYY, XXYY, and XXXXY), with two cryovials per line. Phase 2 involves generation and characterization of organoids from 26 selected iPSC lines, including organoid differentiation, assembloid formation, MEA assays, and single-cell RNA sequencing library preparation. Deliverables include E8 culture conversion, cryopreservation, embryoid body formation, differentiation assays, microscopy images, growth data, neuronal activity assessments, and prepared sequencing libraries shipped to NIH. The period of performance shall not exceed 12 months from contract award. NAICS code is 541714, Research and Development in Biotechnology (except Nanobiotechnology). PSC code is Q301, Reference Laboratory Testing. Responses must include UEI, TIN, business size certification, and demonstrate capability through past performance, technical capability, and relevant experience. All offerors must be actively registered in SAM. Contact John Johnson, Program Specialist, 667-312-5580, johnsonjr@mail.nih.gov.
