The Government does not intend to solicit competitive quotations for this requirement. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Clinical Center, Office of Acquisitions and Logistics Management (OALM), intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Wilson Wolf Manufacturing LLC, 2100 Old Highway 8 NW, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55112-1802, for seven (7) cases of G?Rex500M-CS bioreactors to support the manufacture of cell-based therapies for patients enrolled in NIH clinical trials. Required Items Product: G?Rex500M-CS (2-Pack Box) Product Code: G285500-CS Quantity: 7 Cases Background The Center for Cellular Engineering (CCE) uses validated G?Rex500M bioreactors in FDA-regulated manufacturing processes for the production of cell-based therapies. Continued use of these validated bioreactors is essential to maintain manufacturing consistency, comply with approved production protocols, and ensure uninterrupted patient care. Sole Source Rationale Wilson Wolf Manufacturing LLC is the only known source capable of providing the validated G?Rex500M bioreactors required by the Government. Substituting another product would require extensive process validation and qualification, resulting in increased costs, schedule delays, and potential interruptions to the manufacture of cell-based therapies, which could adversely affect treatment schedules for critically ill patients.
