EPX-55555-000 – 96-Well Hand-Held Magnetic Plate Washer and EPX480-20834-901 – MO Immune Monitoring 48Plex, 96 Tests

The NIH is issuing a sole‑source notice to procure two specific Thermo Fisher Scientific products: a 96‑well hand‑held magnetic plate washer (EPX‑55555‑000) and a ProcartaPlex MO Immune Monitoring 48‑plex assay kit (EPX480‑20834‑901) consisting of 96 tests. These items are required for a research project examining how sarcoma and autoimmune disease affect ovarian function, specifically to measure 48 soluble immune‑related markers in limited biological specimens. Because the assay format, plate layout, and detection technology are integral to the study’s methodology, the agency justifies a single‑source award to maintain data comparability and avoid costly re‑validation. Interested firms may submit a capability statement by the September 28, 2026 deadline; the award is expected within one day thereafter. • Products: magnetic plate washer and 48‑plex multiplex assay kit (96 tests). • Purpose: multiplex biomarker measurement for sarcoma/autoimmune ovarian‑function research. • Procurement method: sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price purchase order. • Submission: capability statement via email ([email protected]) by 9 a.m. EDT 9/28/2026. • Award timeline: ~1 day after submission deadline. • No competition required unless another responsible source can meet exact specifications.
