- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Discipline, National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) and the centers for Disease control and Prevention laboratory in Colorado are collaborating on a 3-year project on the Geography and Pathways of the West Nile Virus in the United States. In 2002, 5700 samples were collected from nearly 120 species from 14 sites in 12 states. There are an additional 400 samples from 2001 to be analyzed. The lack of adequate laboratory capability at the NWHC to complete the tests necessitates the acquisition of laboratory testing services elsewhere. The sophisticated laboratory equipment and procedures requires the testing of these specimens to be performed by a certified biological safety level three facility. The laboratory procedures require tissue culture production, experience in isolating and identifying viruses, newly developed serological tests, specialized reagents, and advanced molecular testing equipment and procedures. A contractor with a certified biological safety level three facility is required. THIS NOTICE IS SEEKING SOURCES. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE. If interested, respond to this notice by March 5, 2003, via e-mail mfritts@usgs.gov or fax to 703-648-7367 Attn: M. Fritts. See Numbered Note 26.
