Required next actionCapable clinical-research organizations should review the current SAM.gov notice, confirm all participant-access, specimen collection, processing, handling, storage, and delivery requirements, and submit any permitted capability response before the deadline.
Broad Eligibility
CDC intends a sole-source award to Emory University. Other responsible sources may respond if they can demonstrate equivalent HIV clinical-research access, specimen-handling capability, continuity, and delivery performance.
Atlas Analysis
The requirement supports CDC research on lenacapavir post-exposure prophylaxis through acquisition and delivery of biological specimens. Continuity of clinical-research access and specimen handling is central to the intended-source rationale, so alternate sources should review the live notice carefully before responding.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking biological-specimen collection, processing, handling, and delivery support for research involving people receiving weekly oral lenacapavir as post-exposure prophylaxis. The current response deadline is September 17, 2026 at 6:00 AM Eastern Time.
CDC identifies Emory University as the intended sole-source provider because of its established HIV clinical-research infrastructure, relevant participant access, prior CDC experience, and ability to collect, process, maintain, and transfer the required specimens. The requirement includes recurring transport of specimens to CDC’s Division of HIV Prevention laboratory.
Other responsible sources should review the live SAM.gov notice and submit any timely capability response permitted by the notice only if they can demonstrate the required clinical-research, specimen-handling, continuity, and delivery capabilities.
