Background The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation's leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability, conducting, supporting and making medical discoveries that improve people's health and save lives. The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which mission it is to catalyze the generation of innovative methods and technologies that will enhance the development, testing and implementation of diagnostics and therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases and conditions. The NCATS Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC) is tasked with identifying and developing novel small molecule leads against a wide spectrum of human disease targets, which it accomplishes by screening thousands of small molecules in collaboration with both intra-and extramural researchers. In pursuit of this goal, the Center has a strong internal transdisciplinary team of scientists who continually discover novel small molecules for application against a wide range of human diseases. As such, NCATS is in need of 2 kg of ML246 (metarrestin) for follow up for a drug discovery project. Objective The purpose of this acquisition is to acquire 2 kg of ML246 (metarrestin). Project Requirements: 1.The Contractor must be able to synthesize and provide the NCATS DPI with 2 kg of ML246 (metarrestin) (CAS 1443414-10-5, molecular formula C31H30N40, molecular weight 474.5961) that has been produced using good manufacturing practices (GMP) 2.The small molecules must be guaranteed to have a purity of >99% by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and mass spectrometry 3.The contractor must provide for shipping and handling to send the 2kg of ML246to NCATS within 8-12 weeks Delivery Date The Contractor shall deliver and install the required equipment within 12 weeks after receipt of order on approximately June 1, 2016. Section 508 Electronic and Information Technology Standards Is not applicable for this requirement. Capability Statement /Information Sought.
