- Description
- The Biological Testing Branch of the Developmental Therapeutics Program, Division of Cancer Treatment, Diagnosis and Centers, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health (NIH), has awarded a contract for producing pathogen-free genetically defined rodents. The contract requires, in accordance with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) policies, administered by the Veterinary Resources Program, all laboratory animals delivered to the National Institutes of Health campus, NCI at Frederick, and NIH contract laboratories within the Washington, DC metropolitan area must be delivered in environmentally-controlled vehicles that are used exclusively for transporting laboratory animals. Animals delivered to the airport for shipment or delivered directly to the user's facility from the contractor's facility must be in environmentally controlled trucks. The contract requires the contractor to obtain proper paper/ clearances when requested to make foreign shipments. Shipping boxes used for the transport of laboratory animals must be escape proof and properly filtered to protect the animals from potential pathogens. Additionally, the immune competent colonies maintained under this contract shall be housed in a maximum barrier environment. The immunodeficient colonies must be maintained in approved HEPA filtered isolators. If the animals are housed in the same room as commercial animals they must be labeled and identified in a manner that clearly separates the government and commercial animals. Lastly, animal monitoring shall be performed by in-house professional staff capable of monitoring all animal colonies for their health status. The in-house staff also has the ability to genetically test mice by DNA based methods and be capable of performing pathology/histology diagnostic services.
