About this opportunity

This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is for the proprietary optofluidic platform consumables from Berkeley Lights to support high-throughput single-cell screening to rapidly identify antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Due to the urgent need to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, soliciting from additional sources for these proprietary OptoSelect chips, sample preparation kits, assay beads, and other consumables would cause an unacceptable delay in critical antibody research. The sole source contract to Berkeley Lights was awarded on March 26, 2020 for an unknown amount to support research from March 26, 2020 through September 21, 2021 utilizing their unique optofluidic technology and consumables to reduce antibody screening time per donor from three weeks to one to two days.

Notice text

The J&A and Addendum are provided in the attached package.
