A purchase order will be issued for custom synthesis of analytical chemical packs required for the chemical terrorism preparedness and emergency response program. Cerilliant manufactures these chemical response packs specifically for the CDC to ensure the efficacy of on going human exposure studies being conducted by the CDC for the analysis of organophosphate nerve agent metabolites, sulfur mustard metabolites, and ricinine / arbine. Justification for other than full and open competition is considered due to the continued need to match existing products for on-going human subject exposure research being conducted by the CDC, National Center for Environmental Health. Failure to procure existing materials in purities and batch lots currently offered by Cerilliant Corporation will alter or contaminate assays required for on-going research being conducted by the CDC.
