B -- HOUSING, MAINTENANCE, AND VETERINARY SERVICES FOR CHIMPANZEES -- MALARIA STUDY SOL 98S249(N) DUE 072998 POC Charlotte Flitcraft, Contract Specialist, (404) 842-6740 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center, located in Atlanta, GA, a requirement for Contractor services to provide housing, maintenance and veterinary services for approximately ten (1) experimental primates (chimpanzees) per year to be used by CDC in conducting Malaria research. The length of time between collection of blood samples and processing of the samples by CDC is of the essence. The parasites contained in the blood samples will degrade within a few hours after collection from the chimpanzees and all work must be done by CDC before this optimum time passes. The Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center is the only organization within close proximity to the CDC Chamblee Facility which will allow CDC to transport and process the material before the parasites become degraded and uninfective to mosquitoes. The period of performance will be for a base year with four twelve month option periods.See Note 22. Posted 07/14/98 (I-SN223166). (0195)
