Funding-NIEHS -- ANIMAL
GENOTYPING SERVICES - IDIQ CONTRACT
Agency
National
Institutes of Health
Description
National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) investigators utilize many
rodent models (e.g. transgenic, knockout and mutant mice) as model systems to
explore how human health and human disease are caused by the interaction of
environment and individual susceptibility over time. The NIEHS maintains many
genetically distinct laboratory animals utilized for this research. The
validation and verification of the genotype of these animals is of critical
importance to NIEHS investigators. Therefore, a genetic monitoring contract is
needed to provide a rapid and accurate determination of the genotype of each
animal. This will be accomplished by awarding a single contract to perform one
or more DNA-based methods to determine the genotype of each animal sample and
provide that information in a form acceptable to NIEHS investigators. The
Government intends to award to a single Contractor a Five (5) Year indefinite
delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) type contract with firm fixed price per
assay task orders. The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, shipping,
supervision, expertise and other resources necessary to provide Genotype
Testing Services and Working Developed Assay as required by the National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Office of Acquisitions. The Period
of Performance is anticipated to be five (5) years. The maximum dollar amount
that may potentially be awarded over the five (5) year duration of the contract
is $8,260,000.
