Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Emulate, Inc.

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Emulate, Inc. The notice announces USU's intention to negotiate solely with Emulate, Inc. for the procurement of a Human Emulation System.

The system includes Organ-Chips that recreate the natural physiology and mechanical forces cells experience in the human body, as well as automated instruments and applicable software applications designed to work with various Organ-Chips for integration and analysis. Interested parties have until February 5, 2021 to submit a response demonstrating how competition would benefit the government without being cost or time prohibitive, and how the interested party can meet USU's needs. The response should show how the interested party can provide the required functionality and precision to fulfill USU's research objectives, as the exact system currently being procured is being used in ongoing research at USU. The government will not be responsible for any costs incurred in responding to the notice.
