Contractor will be required to provide housing, feed and care for up to 75 non-human primates consisting of a fluctuating mix of approximately 25 infant and juvenile chimpanzees and approximately 50 Old World and New World non-human primates, and an estimated 25 other small animals consisting of rats, mice, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets or other small animals. Contractor will perform routine procedures on these animals in accordance with information provided in protocols developed by the NIAID. ABSL-2 and ABSL-3 practices, containment equipment, and facilities are required. In addition, contractor must be capable of delivering clinical specimens, drawn fresh daily from the animal, intact, on wet ice, to the Bethesda/Rockville, MD area within 2 hours after having been drawn. All small businesses including veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns should respond with a capability statement by January 12, 2009 at 11:00 am EST. Teaming arrangements are encouraged. Capability statements must reference similar work that has been performed by the offeror and the dollar value of that work. Respondents must demonstrate, within the capability statements, the ability to provide these services under the conditions described above. This is a market survey, not a request for proposals. All questions must be directed, in writing, to Terrie Nestor at tnestor@niaid.nih.gov.
