Special Notice Special Notice Page 4 of 4 Non-GMP Synthesis of NP-C86 (Cyclic Peptide) James A.

Haley VA Medical Center, 13000 Bruce B.

Downs Blvd., Tampa, Florida 33612, intends to solicit sole source to Curia Global Inc., for the NPC86 which is a new drug designed to alleviate metabolic diseases such as T2D and neurodegenerative diseases.

The chemistry to synthesize the drug is highly specialized and uses the solid state synthesis method.

The target is to synthesize 2 grams of NPC86 which is acyclic peptide.

Curia will use Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) for this peptide, initiating the synthesis on Rink amide resin.

This approach will yield an amide functionality at the C-terminal upon cleavage.

The target specification for the final compound is 95% purity by HPLC (area%, non-validated).

Period of performance is 8/17/2026 to 8/16/2027.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541715, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology).

Any information regarding this requirement must be received no later than 7/28/2026 @ 10:00 AM EST.

Please provide a letter from the manufacturer stating authorization to work with Curia Global Inc.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
