Scope: Federal

This is a Notice of Intent notice.

This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations.

The Division of Veterinary Resources (DVR) within the National Institute of Health (NIH), Office of Research Services (ORS) requires the procurement, delivery, installation, commissioning, and training associated with the replacement of the existing Tecniplast large-capacity nonhuman primate cage and rack washer supporting nonhuman primate housing operations at the NIH main campus, Bethesda, Maryland with minimal disruption to ongoing animal care activities.

DVR requires replacement of an end-of-life cage and rack washer that supports nonhuman primate (NHP) housing operations.

The existing unit, manufactured by the same company that manufactures the proposed replacement system, has been in continuous service for approximately twenty (20) years and has exceeded its expected service life.

The unit is experiencing increasingly frequent failures, resulting in elevated maintenance costs, operational disruptions, and material risk to research continuity.

The replacement system shall provide high-capacity, pass-through washing and sanitization for NHP cages, transport equipment, racks, feeders, enrichment devices, and ancillary husbandry equipment and shall support daily cage-wash operations.

All products provided under this award must support compliance with the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, AAALAC International Accreditation standards and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) requirements.

This is a Notice of Intent; the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate a sole source contract for the Tecniplast USA model Atlantis...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
