FBO ANNOUNCEMENT: PRESOLICITATION NOTICE, NOTICE OF INTENT

ACTION CODE: SPECIAL NOTICE

CLASSIFICATION CODE: 66 – Instruments and Laboratory Equipment

SUBJECT: Protein Biologic Analyzer

SOLICITATION NUMBER: 1333ND25QNB640234

DESCRIPTION:

The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a brand name basis under the authority of FAR 13.105, for a Solentim ICON Analyzer.

Brand Name Justification is based on the following:

The Biomolecular Structure & Function (BSF) Group in the Biomolecular Measurement Division of the Materials Measurement Laboratory within NIST, is establishing a biomanufacturing testbed for representative processes used during the production of therapeutic proteins. A Protein Biologic Analyzer integrates all capabilities to perform at-line rapid measurements of mammalian cell culture to include clonal screening, colony outgrowth & protein biologics titer and glycan characterization supplemented by automated data monitoring, acquisition, and reporting for per cell protein expression and glycan distribution.
