- Description
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has a requirement for approximately 221,200 infective larvae and adult worms of the filarial parasite Brugia Malayi per year. The contractor will be required to furnish all the necessary services, personnel, materials, equipment, and facilities not otherwise provide by the Government. The contractor shall furnish the specific strain and quantities of these parasitic worms according to the required procedures. The primary objective for the use of these parasites is for studying human immunity to filariasis, a disease which causes elephantiasis in humans, and to develop an appropriate vaccine for the infection. In addition to the above, the colonies of the mosquito Aedes Aequipt (Liverpool strain) are required to be maintained for the production of the infective larvae. The parasitic materials derived from the mosquitoes must be collected, counted, stored, maintained and further processed in a manner required for this research study. The larvae and adult worms which are required to be produced from the larvae, have to be stored until needed in a freezer (-80 degree centigrade), and injected intraperitoneally into jirds or suspended in media 199 and shipped immediately by air express. NIAID intends to award a one-year firm-fixed price type contract beginning on or about November 1, 2009 with the option for four additional contract years. The NAICS Code for this requirement is 541990: All Other Professional, Scientific and Technical Services. The solicitation will be posted to www.fedbizops.gov for download on or about May 29, 2009. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (13-MAY-2009); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
