Immunophenotyping and Flow Cytometric Analysis of Cellular Populations in Translational Research Studies

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate and award a contract without providing for full and open competition to Becton, Dickinson and Company for immunophenotyping and flow cytometric analysis of cellular populations in translational research studies. The contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2026-01. The NIH conducts intramural research that requires immunophenotyping and analysis of cellular populations using flow cytometry, and access to a flow cytometry system within the laboratory is required to perform sample acquisition and analysis in alignment with experimental workflows. • The contract is for immunophenotyping and flow cytometric analysis of cellular populations in translational research studies. • The contract will be awarded without providing for full and open competition. • The contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2026-01. • The NIH conducts intramural research that requires immunophenotyping and analysis of cellular populations using flow cytometry. • Access to a flow cytometry system within the laboratory is required to perform sample acquisition and analysis in alignment with experimental workflows.
