This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for quotations. A solicitation document will not be issued, and quotations will not be requested.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Clinical Center (CC), Office of Purchasing and Contracts, on behalf of the Center for Cellular Engineering (CCE), intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Terumo BCT, Inc., located in Lakewood, Colorado 80215-4440, for the purchase of one (1) FINIA 2.0 Fill Finish Equipment unit.

This equipment will be used in the new CCE cGMP facilities and support laboratories located in Building 10 on the main NIH campus in Bethesda, MD.

The FINIA 2.0 Fill Finish Device is essential for the preparation and cryopreservation of cellular therapy doses. The existing process is manual and open, which presents risks such as delivering inadequate doses or overdoses, which could lead to severe side effects like cytokine storms.

Terumo BCT is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the sole provider of this system. The device is uniquely capable of handling volumes ranging from 2 mL to 100 mL, while meeting current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), and includes electronic data recording and reporting features. No other system on the market offers this full range of capabilities in compliance with cGMP standards
