NCI SCID/NCr Mice, Strain Code: 561, Male, 5 weeks (35-41 days) old

Old Dominion University, located in Virginia, awarded contract PO05389529 to Charles River Labs on June 24, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $1,052.40. The contract encompasses the procurement and delivery of specialized laboratory animals for research purposes. Specifically, the award includes 10 NCI SCID/NCr mice (National Cancer Institute Severe Combined Immunodeficiency/Nonobese Diabetic-severe combined immunodeficiency mice), Strain Code 561, male specimens aged 5 weeks (35–41 days old), at a unit price of $105.24 per animal. The animals are designated for delivery to Dr. Kerscher.

Charles River Labs, a recognized provider of research models and services, serves as the prime contractor responsible for sourcing and delivering the specified laboratory mice to the designated recipient. The contract represents a standard procurement arrangement typical of academic research institutions requiring specialized animal models for investigational purposes. The relatively modest cumulative value indicates this is a single, limited-quantity acquisition rather than a large-scale supply agreement.
