A -- Bacteriologcal Testing

DARPA intends to enter into a sole source contract with RTI of Research Triangle Park, NC, to perform research for continued development of technologies that can directly destroy bacteriological spores including anthrax strains. RTI best meets the Government's desire for rapid and reliable completion of the testing. Their experience in testing samples for microorganisms, extensive analytical capability, proven scientific integrity and experience with protecting proprietary information make them uniquely qualified. Having demonstrated these qualifications is important given the imminent desire for the research results and four month period of performance. This Notice is intended for informational purposes only; it is not a Request for Proposals. However, interested parties should contact RTI for subcontracting opportunities.
