- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), located in Bethesda, MD, has an ongoing requirement for mice to be used in support of research studies at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI). Previous blanket purchase agreements (BPA) for mice have been made under HT9404-12-A-CV39 and HT9404-13-A-BV85 with Harlan Laboratories. Individual purchase orders, to include HU0001-14-M-V364, HU0001-14-MV308 and HU0001-14-M-V312 in the past year, have been awarded to Jackson Laboratory. Strains of mice currently being used include: • C3H/HeN (male) • CD2F1 (male) • C57BL/6 (male and female) • B6D2F1/J (female) • CBA (female) • C57L (female) It is anticipated that the resultant award will be a multiple award firm fixed priced BPA.
