Background Information: The function of the Human Leukocyte Antigen Laboratory (HLA) of the Department of Transfusion Medicine, CC is to (1) provide clinical diagnostic laboratory testing for patients in the Clinical Center to facilitate possible transplant or enrollment into an appropriate protocol for the patients particular condition; (2) to conduct clinical consultations for NIH Clinical Center physicians in the management of patient care in regards to potential transplant scenarios; (3) to maintain accreditation through various accrediting agencies in order to provide quality results (4) to conduct research in the development of new diagnostic laboratory tests (5) to facilitate the support and development of protocols which involve HLA testing and the implications for patient care. 3. Purpose or Objective: The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (CC) intends to award a one year fixed priceIndefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contractto One Lambda, Inc., Canoga Park, California 91303-2801, DUNS# 118289289 for the acquisition of LabType SSO/PRA/Class Typing Kits. The proposed vendor, One Lambda, Inc., is the only manufacturer of the various LabType SSO/PRA/Class Typing kits. These kits are used for routine Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) testing and HLA antibody screening utilizing the Luminex methodology as 510K FDA cleared products. While other platforms may be available, these platforms have not been found to have all the various types of kits needed for HLA testing. Any change to another platform would require validation to ensure the kits and testing work as stated, which would take months to perform. It is imperative due to the diagnostic nature of the testing, that diagnostic test kits are not changed without proper testing. These items need to be awarded before June 10, 2020 to ensure no disruptions in HLA testing. In addition, One Lambda is the only company which provides a LabType typing reagent for high resolution Class II DRB1 Loci testing. This level of resolution is necessary to provide information to several primary investigators at NIH who are involved with numerous protocols, including transplantation protocols. 4.
