SCOPE OF WORK Catalog NumberDescription Quantity 85500-CSGas permeable cell culture device55 each Period of Performance: The period of performance for these products is one (1) year. July 1, 2017 - May 31, 2018. Delivery Schedule July 201720 Flasks November 201710 Flasks February 201710 Flasks May 201815 Flasks Scope of Work: G-Rex containers are needed for the E6/E7 TCR protocol. The closed system is a specialized design for gas permeable culture flasks with sterile bags. Wilson Wolf is the only company that sells this product. The closed system caps are used for cancer related NK cells and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. Optimization studies have shown that G-Rex grows NK cells at a higher density compared to other culture vessels. Objective: The Cell Processing Section (CPS) of DTM provides cellular therapeutics to support the treatment of patients in the NIH Clinical Center. T-cell Receptor (TCR) transduced T-cells have demonstrated the ability to treat malignant tumors. To date, specific TCR's endowed with enhanced therapeutic potential have been identified for the treatment of malignancies; however, these cells cannot be grown to achieve therapeutic use by conventional methods. Using the G-Rex culture device supplied by Wilson Wolf, we can now readily grow sufficient quantities of these cells for therapeutic purposes. The GRex device which we are requesting is the only system compatible with the GRex culture flasks and allows for the concentration and harvesting of the T-cells at the end of culture. Wilson Wolf GatheRex system is currently the only known system that can provide these quality cells for our cellular manufacturing. CAPABILITY STATEMENT - Any potential Manufacturer must demonstrate the following: 1) The offeror shall submit product literature for the supplies it is proposing. Capability Statement(s) should clearly identify the following: a. Name of the Manufacturer, quantity and location where the units are produced (domestic and/or international); b.
