HHS Seeks Firms for Domestic, Large-Scale COVID-19 Test Production

July 28, 2020

The U.S. government is looking for companies that can domestically produce point-of-care COVID-19 antibody tests to meet a goal of at least 20 million test units per month.

HHS has issued a request for proposals and says it will assess them based on the product’s ease-of-use, end-to-end domestic production, diagnostic accuracy, scale of production and cost. Only proposals for tests produced entirely in the U.S. will be considered, the department said.

No components, subcomponents or chemical compounds may be sourced from the People’s Republic of China, HHS said.
