A solicitation document will NOT be issued, and quotations will NOT be requested. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a fixed price purchase order to procure a BD Instrumentation package and reagent kits from Becton. Dickinson, & Company of San Jose, California 95131-1807. The period of performance is from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2029. The purpose of this acquisition is to procure an instrument rental, reagent kits, quality control materials, and supplies for the Hematology Flow Cytometry Service from Becton, Dickinson & Company of San Jose, California. These supplies are essential for the operation of the instruments and play a crucial role in analyzing patient care and research specimens in the flow cytometry section of the Department of Laboratory Medicine. The Department of Laboratory Medicine offers cutting-edge laboratory testing to support patient care at the Clinical Center and aims to be a leader in research and training within the field. To meet the growing demands of patient care and research testing, it is essential to maintain sufficient resources to manage the increasing workload. Without an adequate supply of the necessary proprietary reagent kits and supplies, we would be unable to deliver critical results promptly, which are essential for both patient care and research.
