The MMESD, Storage & Distribution Section has a requirement for contamination control cleaning supplies for NIH biologics manufacturing sites and aseptic processing areas at the NIH CC (Bldg. 10) on the Bethesda, MD campus.  It is vital that the Contractor provides Certificates for Analysis (COA), Certificates of Conformance and Packing Inserts in each packaged case of supplies. The requirement is to obtain cleaning supplies for the NIH, Clinical Center cGMP Clean Rooms for delivery to Building 10, Room B2C-123 Bethesda, Maryland. It is critical to adequately clean these rooms with the needed Government approved cleaning supplies to be able to pass the Joint Commission and FDA Certifications for cGMP pharmaceutical development practices. We specifically need cleaning supplies from VWR because VWR items comply with Joint Commission and FDA Certifications for cGMP, and VWR products have certificates and a unique VWR tracking system that confirms their products are suitable to be used in laboratory clean rooms.
