Quick Summary
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate and award a non-competitive contract to Becton, Dickinson and Company for Immunophenotyping and Flow Cytometric Analysis of Cellular Populations in translational research studies. This is a presolicitation notice of intent. Responses from interested parties are due June 22, 2026.
Scope of Work
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts intramural research requiring immunophenotyping and analysis of cellular populations using flow cytometry. These activities are performed across multiple projects and necessitate reliable access to instrumentation capable of supporting routine and time-sensitive experimental workflows. Current laboratory operations utilize shared flow cytometry resources, leading to a requirement for an in-laboratory system to ensure alignment with experimental needs.
