Purchase of Reagents

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in support of Vaccine Research Center intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition contract for 293fectin Transfection Reagent with Life Technologies Corporation (5791 Van Allen Way, Carlsbad, CA 92008-7313). This is not a request for proposal. Vaccine Research Center has been using Life Technologies transfectin reagent for their current protocols. Changing the reagents at this time could introduce variables that may negatively affect the current project. All responsible sources may submit their capabilities and past performance providing the required reagents. All responsible sources may submit a response that will be considered. The Government reserves the right to make a decision whether this requirement is available for competition. All responses shall be submitted no later than May 12, 2014 to Jennifer Burke [email protected] .
