Purity Specifications, Storage and Distribution for Medications Development

The National Institute on Drug Abuse seeks to establish a centralized repository for receiving, storing, analyzing, and distributing drug compounds from various domestic and international sources to support its research activities and those of other NIH Institutes. Interested parties must demonstrate experience administering interrelated logistics tasks, handling controlled substances, and maintaining a secure inventory of approximately 10,000 compounds in various quantities and conditions. Capability statements must address analytical testing capabilities including TLC, HPLC, MS, GC, and NMR; shipping domestically and internationally as blinded samples; and database management. Statements are due by November 15th for evaluation.

No set-aside will be used. Relevant NAICS codes include 541711 and 541712. Potential PSC codes cover research support and controlled substances handling. Interested parties must be registered under the Controlled Substances Act for Schedules I through V. Responses should include company and point of contact information, business size and socioeconomic status. The anticipated contract would establish a centralized holding site to purchase, analyze, store, and distribute compounds ranging from milligrams to kilograms to support NIH research programs.
