The notice identifies the Viral Vector Core at the Pandemic Institute, University of Oxford as the intended source because it is described as the only known vendor with the relevant chimpanzee adenovirus platform. The notice is an active combined synopsis/solicitation, invites written capability statements or proposals despite not being a competitive quotation request, and requires responses by the stated deadline.
