About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health, on behalf of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, intends to award a sole-source purchase order for off-hours specimen processing services, with responses due by September 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM EDT.
The anticipated awardee is University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC), 250 West Pratt Street, 24th Floor, Baltimore, Maryland 21201. Services include centrifugation of peripheral blood samples, red blood cell depletion of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, cell counting, and cryopreservation of samples from patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome or respiratory failure on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Processing must occur off-hours—Monday through Friday 5 PM to 5 AM, weekends, and holidays—under direction of Dr. Robert Christenson in UMMC's Laboratory of Pathology to preserve sample integrity for downstream gene and protein analysis.
The base period runs from September 30, 2026 to April 30, 2027. The sole-source justification rests on the 2024 Bench-to-Bedside Award program funding, which designated UMMC as the sole clinical collaborator to maintain research plan integrity and protect patient confidentiality. The procurement is classified under NAICS 621511 (Medical Laboratories) and PSC Q301 (Reference Laboratory Testing), conducted under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
Interested parties may submit capability statements or quotations via email to James Hawkins (james.hawkins3@nih.gov) and Lynn Furtaw (lynn.furtaw@nih.gov). Responses must include unit price, list price, shipping and handling costs, delivery period, prompt payment discount terms, F.O.B. point, UEI, TIN, business size certification, and active SAM registration. The Government retains discretion to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received.
