NAICS – 811210
This is a Notice of Intent, NOT a request for proposal. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate an other than full and open competition basis with Biaera Technologies LLC, 277 Eastern Boulevard North, Suite 3, Hagerstown, MD 21740 for a AeroMP/3G 1-Year Service Agreement renewal.
The mission of the OCSIRF is to serve as a responsive and collaborative resource that facilitates multidisciplinary research to understand, treat, prevent, and eradicate diseases caused by novel, emerging, and highly virulent viruses. The IRF-Frederick serves as a collaborative resource for internal (NIAID) and extramural investigators to conduct research on viruses, such as those causing high-consequence disease (e.g., Ebola and SARS-CoV-2) and many other viruses included on the NIAID Priority Pathogens list. The IRF-Frederick has the capability to conduct biosafety level (BSL)-2, BSL-3, and BSL-4 research. It is one of the few facilities in the world able to perform medical imaging to evaluate animals in BSL-4 containment. These unique features enable the comparison of various exposure routes for either naturally occurring or deliberately released viral pathogens. In addition to animal models of disease, the IRF-Frederick uses innovative approaches including high-throughput drug screening, targeted genomic sequencing, custom immunological and serological analyses, and organ-chip model development to elucidate fundamental mechanisms of viral pathogenesis and assess candidate medical countermeasure efficacy.
This procurement is for a service agreement for continued support of our existing Biaera Technologies Aerosol Control System equipment which is a critical need for the Aerobiology Lab. Most of the aerosol studies run at the IRF involve the Aero 3G as the main operating unit and engine of the experiment. Researchers can safely operate flow controllers, control parameters, and monitor details associated with aerosol experiments. The equipment also integrates with the primary engineering control, the Class III biosafety cabinet, thus providing a safe environment to conduct these studies.
Description of need:
Aero 3G® Service Agreement for SVC01, QTY - 3 (serial #1504, #1822, and #1823)
Service agreement includes maintenance and repair of proprietary Biaera software:
