6550--SUPPLY - GENE EXPRESSION KITS 36C24225Q0867

Gene expression kits are being procured under a brand-name requirement, meaning bidders must supply the specific brand identified in the solicitation and substitutes are not acceptable. The effort began as a Notice of Intent to Sole Source (suggesting a single-vendor approach) and progressed to a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation that confirms a brand-name restriction for bidders.

Two awards are listed, both with zero dollar amounts and no award dates provided. The change noted between notices is the shift from an anticipated sole-source intent to an actual brand-name solicitation, signaling that only the specified brand will be considered for award; pricing details are not shown in the available records.
