Description
This notice is issued for informational purposes only and does not constitute a request for quotations. A solicitation will not be issued, and quotations will not be requested.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Clinical Center, intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price contract to Bio-Rad Laboratories for the procurement of Liquichek Tumor Regeants.

Background
