Background: The USAISR mission is to be the nation’s premier joint research organization planning and executing registry-based and translational research providing innovative solutions for burn, trauma, and combat casualty care from the point of injury through rehabilitation. This non personal based service contract will provide the USAISR with the required resources to staff and maintain mission critical operations.

The Edstrom Watchdog monitors animal environment, delivers water and provides access control on all animal rooms to ensure the safety of our animals as well as our research. Viewport oversees the tasks performed in the animal rooms as well as allowing adjustment to water supply in the animal rooms which is critical to the animal’s well-being. The government is required by Army Regulation 40-33, The Care and Use of Laboratory Animals in DOD Programs, to maintain critical infrastructure, security, safety, and animal welfare. Submission Requirements: Interested firms are encouraged to submit a white paper (statement of capabilities) in response to this RFI.

All information regarding capabilities statements or any other proprietary information relative to this RFI shall be marked appropriately. Disclaimer: This RFI is issued solely for information/planning purposes only, and does not constitute a solicitation. Neither unsolicited proposals, nor any other offers will be considered in response to this RFI.
