DBA: Teklad Diets 8520 Allison Pointe Blvd. Ste. 400, Indianapolis, IN 46250-5700, as the only responsible source that can provide the customized services needed to fulfill this acquisition. The requirement is for specialized feed for the laboratory animals housed in the biomedical research division of the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick MD. The appropriate animal feed is necessary to provide animals with standard diets or diets specific to their medical condition. The Tekland Global Diets supplied by Harlan is currently part of the small animal research project being conducted by USAMRIID. It is paramount that this insitute's research results be scientifically sound and therefore capable of withstanding the greatest amount of scientific question and scrutiny. This material is certified by law under The United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 21, Part 58 - Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies. The only way to ensure the consistency and scientific merit of the GLP research results is to eliminate variables, and for the animal feed to be provided by the current source. Minute differences in animal feed types occur between sources, those small differences between vendors are enough to compromise science. Therefore, the current source must provide all animal feed throughout USAMRIID. The specific items numbers for this contract will include: 2018C, 2019C, 7022 NIH-07, 2040S, 7006, 7006C, 2050, 8630, 8630C, 879N, 2072. All capability statements received by closing of this notification of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Based on the above information, the only technically acceptable animal feed can be provided by Harlan Laboratories. Submit email capability statements (using PDF, MS Word, Excel attachments) to Kimberly Hannan at, Kimberly.S.Hannan@us.army.mil.Statements are due no later than 1:00 P.M. EST on 1 July 2011. No telephone calls will be accepted.
