What this contract is for

Agency: HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF / CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION
Location: Atlanta, GA
Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 621511 - Ambulatory Health Care Services (general category)
Scope: Federal

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Emory University for the procurement and delivery of biological specimens from persons receiving weekly oral lenacapavir.

Emory maintains established HIV clinical-research infrastructure, including HIV prevention and treatment clinical-research capabilities, and has documented prior experience performing CDC-supported clinical studies involving extensive biological specimen collection and pharmacokinetic-related procedures.

Emory also has prior CDC DHP contract performance and documented experience with the collection, processing, handling, and transfer of biological specimens required for CDC-supported research.

This established experience provides continuity with CDC DHP laboratory methods and specimen-handling procedures and reduces technical risk associated with protocol implementation, specimen-processing method transfer, study start-up, and preservation of specimen integrity.

In addition, Emory’s Atlanta-area location permits timely and predictable monthly transport of specimens to the CDC DHP Laboratory Branch.

This proximity reduces cold-chain transportation time, shipping variability, weather-related exposure, and other risks that could adversely affect specimen integrity and comparability.

This contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of RFO FAR 12.201-1 simplified procedures pursuant to 41 U.S.C.

1901, and is justified under 41 U.S.C.

3304(a)(1).

See note below.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within 15 of days of the issuance of this notice shall be considered by the government.

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.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
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.
