About this opportunity

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) within the National Institutes of Health has published a Pre-Solicitation Notice of Intent for DNA Probe Labeling and Microarrays Kits under solicitation number NOI-NIAID-25-2261441. This special notice indicates NIAID's intention to negotiate on a sole-source basis with Agilent Technologies Inc. for specialized laboratory consumables required for gene expression research. The procurement includes unrestricted AMADID Release GE 4x44K arrays, labeling kits, hybridization kits, wash packs, and RNA spike-in kits with delivery to Bethesda, Maryland. The notice falls under NAICS code 325414 for Biological Product Manufacturing and is justified under 41 U.S.C. 1901(a)(1) as only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements. The posting date is July 11, 2025, with a response deadline of July 21, 2025.

The purpose of this notice is to inform potential vendors of NIAID's intent to proceed with sole-source procurement while providing an opportunity for other responsible sources to demonstrate their capability to provide comparable services. Interested vendors must submit capability statements along with a letter of authorization from Agilent Technologies Inc. confirming their ability to resell the required consumables. All submissions must be received by July 21, 2025, at 12:00 pm EST through the NIAID e-BidBoard System, requiring vendors to register on the platform before submitting responses. The procurement is specifically limited to sources that can provide the exact specifications needed for the agency's research requirements, though the notice emphasizes this is not a request for proposal but rather a notice of intent. Late submissions will be handled according to FAR 52.212-1(f) provisions, and all responsible sources are encouraged to submit capability statements for consideration.
