The base contract (designated as Phase 1) shall include work activities associated with the determination of bulk chemical analysis (identity and purity), validation of dose formulation and analysis procedures, any health and safety concerns. Upon successful completion of Phase 1,and the Government may unilaterally exercise options for the conduct of 14-day, 90-day, 26-week, or 2-year studies specified as Phases 2 through 6, respectively. Multiple studies shall be conducted concurrently in accordance with the "Specifications for the Conduct of Studies to Evaluate the Toxic and Carcinogenic Potential of Chemical, Biological and Physical Agents in Laboratory Animals for the National Toxicology Program dated September 2000". Offerors shall have a working laboratory in place by the date of proposal submission. The Principal Investigator, Toxicologist, Chemist, Veterinarian, Health and Safety Officer and Quality Assurance Unit Officer shall be employees of the contract laboratory (i.e., not consultants or subcontractors).
