Wilson Wolf G-Rex500M, GRex100M-CS and G-Rex100 Product Service Code: 6515 NAICS Code: 339112 Place of Performance: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center 10 Center Drive Bethesda, MD 20822 POTS: 24-004133 Description: This is a notice of intent, not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued, and quotations will not be requested. The National Institutes of Health, Office of Purchasing and Contracts on behalf of Department of Transfusion Medicine, Center for Cellular Engineering intends to award a firm fixed priced award on a sole source basis to Wilson Wolf Manufacturing to supply G-Rex500M, GRex100M-CS and G-Rex100 bioreactors. List of Supplies: Line Item: 0001 G-Rex100M-CS (3-pack box) Product Number 81100-CS Quantity 1 Line Item: 0002 G-Rex100 (3-pack box) Product Number 80500-Quantity 1 Line Item: 0003 G-Rex500M-CS (2-pack box) Product Number: G285500-CS-Quantity 5 Wilson Wolf Manufacturing is the original equipment manufacturer of the G-Rex System and the sole supplier of its reagents and supplies. The standalone bioreactors have been approved and qualified for the use in Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved protocols at the National Institutes of Health, Center for Cellular Engineering. The Center for Cellular Engineering manufactures cell-based therapies for patients who either have no or have exhausted all other standard treatment options. The manufacturing operations are regulated by the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) as mandated by the FDA in 21 CFR 210, 211, 600 and 1271. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandates that critical reagents and materials used in the manufacturing, processing, and testing of drug products must be validated to ensure that a consistent, safe, and high-quality product is manufactured. The Center for Cellular Engineering has a rigorous validation program that demonstrates that materials meet the high standards the FDA expects of materials used for patient manufacturing. Products cannot be simply substituted in manufacturing processes without confirmation through validation that the products are comparable. These validations are costly and time consuming. As a consequences validation of alternate products would introduce delays to fully as material is validated and this will cause delays to patient treatments.
