- Description
- Statement of Work (SOW) Vivarium Management System Background: The Ralph H. Johnson Research Service Veterinary Medical Unit (VMU) requires a vivarium management system to electronically organize and manage daily operations, monthly billing, and annual reporting that will fulfill VA (local SOP 19), federal regulatory (The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals), and animal research accreditation requirements (AAALAC International). Objectives: Our objectives are to provide uninterrupted continuity of service to maintain our current high quality of research and standards of performance for successful daily management of a vivarium. Scope: This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required for the Charleston VAMC Research Service Line to procure vivarium management services that will be the primary mode of managing animal operations in our vivarium, tracking health history and veterinary care, and communicating about animal status with researchers and staff. We have extensively customized the system for the needs of our agency and facility over the past 5 years, so its utility includes facilitating annual reports to regulatory agencies and the Chief VA Veterinary Medical Officer, tracking animal use for the Institutional Care and Use Committee (IACUC), managing animal breeding and genotyping activities, and alerting investigators to new health events. The requested product and support services provide the foundation for all operations in the VMU, such as printing cage cards for animals and recording animal census. The vivarium management system includes a broad range of capabilities from storing animal genotyping data, mating, litters produced, health records, birth, death, weaning, weaning efficiency, longevity, and messaging amongst animal care staff or veterinary staff and researchers about daily observations, animal treatments, and illnesses. Researchers can access data using secure, unique user names and passwords through an internet interface, allowing convenient access to the system at any time. Operational efficiencies and animal per diem billing accuracy are achieved through use of this product, facilitating the research of approximately 30 animal investigators holding ~$6 million in VA-funded animal research. Tasks (As applicable): The contractor shall provide subscription to the vivarium management system in 15 units of 250 active animal records, for a total of 3750. Needs will be reassessed annually based on animal census in the vivarium. The contractor shall provide up to 5 hours of remote support services. Training (As applicable): Vendor to provide training on site and support service as necessary. Place of Performance or Delivery Address: Ralph H. Johnson VAMC Research Service 30 Courtenay Dr., STB-702 Charleston, SC 29425 Period of Performance: Base Year and 4 one-year Option Periods
