CNRICMouse-AC- Mouse Barrier CNRIC Protocol

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University awarded a contract to Children's National Medical Center on June 18, 2026, for the supply of barrier-protected mice under the CNRIC (Collaborative Neuroscience Research and Innovation Center) Protocol. The contract encompasses the delivery of 36 units of CNRICMouse-AC barrier mice at a unit price of $65.60 each, resulting in a cumulative contract value of $2,416.70. Delivery is designated to Katherine Tsitouris, the point of contact for the ordering organization, at telephone number (202) 960-1845.

This contract represents a supply arrangement for laboratory research animals to support collaborative research initiatives within Virginia. The barrier-protected mice specified under the CNRIC Protocol are specialized research specimens designed to maintain pathogen-free status, a critical requirement for controlled laboratory research environments. The relatively modest contract value and discrete quantity of units suggest this represents either an initial order or a limited-scope procurement to support specific research protocols at the contracting organization's facilities.
