- Description
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) intends to negotiate with the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research to continue the maintenance of the NHLBI chimpanzee colony for hepatitis and AIDS research. Of the 45 chimpanzees in the colony, 34 are on various investigative programs related to hepatitis and AIDS projects. Most of these projects have long term goals and objectives and some of them have reached a critical phase and others will enter into that phase in the near future. Therefore, any attempt to relocate the colony will not only interrupt critical aspects of the study but is also likely to adversely affect the outcome of ongoing studies. The period of performance is May 1, 2003 - April 30, 2013. The authority to use other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) as set forth in FAR 6.302-1. The incumbent has been performing work under this contract and, therefore, has unique capability to provide the required services to the NHLBI without disruption of ongoing research and, more importantly, without any deleterious impact in the health and well-being of the chimpanzees. See Numbered Note 22.
