Description:
This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for quotations. A solicitation will not be issued, and quotations will not be requested. This notice is for informational purposes only.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Clinical Center (CC), Office of Purchasing and Contracts, on behalf of the Center for Cellular Engineering (CCE), intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract on a sole source basis to:
Xcell Biosciences, Inc.

Requirement:
The purpose of this acquisition is to lease four (4) Avatar™ Odyssey instruments for a period of six (6) months to support process development activities within the CCE laboratories located at the NIH Clinical Center, Bethesda, Maryland.
These instruments enable precise control of cellular microenvironment conditions, including oxygen tension (hypoxia to normoxia), pressure, and temperature, which are critical for evaluating and optimizing cell therapy manufacturing processes.
