- Description
- Sole Source Justification The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Guild Biosciences Inc. to develop a sensitive, low-cost, non-invasive and simple malaria test for urine and saliva. This is a follow-on of a 2014 SBIR grant PHS-2014-1 in which Guild Biosciences worked to develop a diagnostic biosensor fabricated in low-cost chromatography paper capable of rapidly detecting four specific malaria parasite metabolites from blood stage parasite culture. A prototype using aptamer molecular beacons specific to metabolites as recognition elements and binding-induced fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) detection was developed. This contract will build upon the work performed in 200-2014-M-60078 to develop and further refine assays to the biomarker targets identified from malaria infection in humans, which is needed for a field deployable rapid diagnostic test for malaria. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within five (5) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to Leonard Mutter at iwd4@cdc.gov by 5:00pm (Eastern) Friday 13 May 2016
