The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Cayman Chemical Company, Inc. for the design, manufacture, distribution, and associated laboratory support services for the Emergent Drug Panel-Version 2 (EDP-V2) Kit, a new product line addition within CDC's Traceable Opioid Material (TOM®) Kit program, and continued distribution, product support, and data collection services for existing Emergent Drug Panel (EDP) Kit products. The anticipated period of performance is 09/30/2026 through 09/29/2027.
