This is a definitive cost-reimbursement contract awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to Duke University. The contract has a ceiling value of $28,340,062.00 and is for the provision of a Nonhuman Primate Core Humoral Immunology Laboratory to support AIDS vaccine research and development. The contract has a base period of one year and six one-year option periods, for a potential seven-year period of performance. There is no set-aside designation for this contract. The contract was awarded as a result of a pre-solicitation notice (RFP 75N93023R00012) posted in November 2023, which sought proposals for the provision of humoral immunology core laboratory services to assess antibody responses in nonhuman primates immunized with candidate HIV/SIV vaccines or infected with related viruses. Duke University, as the prime contractor, will be responsible for conducting these assays in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice standards.
