- Description
- The National Institute of Aging, (NIA), National Institutes of Health, has a requirement to develop, maintain, and distribute a colony of aged mice of various genotypes for use by investigators in studies of aging. During the nine-year period of performance of this cost reimbursement contract, the expected colony population will range from 8,000 in the first year, to a peak of 36,000 in years 3 through 7, then declining to near 0 by the ninth year. This colony shall be divided into two approximately equal and separate segments maintained behind independent barriers, pathogen, and parasite free, for the total nine-year period. The Offeror should have facilities suitable for development and maintenance of the mice strains required for this project, along with experience in breeding, rearing, and maintaining and distributing animal colonies of similar magnitude and having similar health and environmental requirements. The Offeror should also have an awareness of problems and complications likely to be observed in the conduct of this project and methods to address them, particularly, the knowledge of the importance of maintenance of the high standard of health and genetic purity. THIS SOLICITATION WILL BE AVAILBLE ELECTRONICALLY ONLY. The solicitation will be issued on or about March 7, 2003, and will be posted on this Web site and at http://ocm.od.nih.gov/drc/rfp.htm. Offerors are responsible for routinely checking these Web sites for any amendments to the solicitation. Proposals will be due seventy (70) calendar days after the date of issuance of the solicitation. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which will be considered by the Government. No collect calls will be accepted.
