R -- ANIMAL CARE AND SUPORT PROGRAM SOL N01DA-2-6006 DUE 070395 POC Patricia W. Mummaugh, Contract Specialist, (301) 443-1301, Nikki A Zangwill, Contracting Officer, (301) 443-1301 The National Institute on Drug Abuse intends to negotiate a modification with Bionetics Corporation on a sole-source basis to add five positions under Contract No. N01DA-2-6006, an on-going contract that provides animal husbandry and technical support for NIDA's intramural research program. Authority: 41 USC 253(c)(1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1(a). Bionetics Corporation can augment existing technical and administrative staff without expanding the existing facilities requirement. Competition is not feasible for this modification since no government office space is available to support increased services and oversight. See Note 22. (0132)
