Pre-Solicitation Notice for notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract for a one (1) year period with Pharmaron (San Diego) Lab Services LLC, 2820 Loker Ave E, Carlsbad CA 92010 to provide In vivo safety of neural stem cells grafted in rats with spinal cord injury.

The facility must be in driving distance to the VA San Diego to maintain scientific integrity of stem cells with time-sensitive transportation (cells that are transplanted into these animals are prepared in house and must be hand-delivered on ice) and to limit long-distance travel.
These requirements are critical to support regulatory submission and clinical translation of therapies addressing spinal cord injury in the Veteran population. The required highly specialized services directly support development of therapies for spinal cord injury (SCI), a condition disproportionately affecting Veterans. The complexity of neural stem cell therapies introduces heightened regulatory scrutiny, particularly regarding safety and long-term persistence in central nervous system tissues.
Given Pharmaron s proximity to the San Diego VA Medical Center, its extensive expert...
