0R12CD01.DWG

The file 0R12CD01.DWG is a government document related to a pre-solicitation notice from Oakland University in Michigan, seeking to procure individually ventilated caging systems for mouse research facilities. The university intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 to acquire 8-10 new ventilated caging systems, with the primary objectives of maximizing housing capacity and enhancing biosecurity for mouse rooms. Currently, Oakland University maintains approximately 2,000 rodents housed in 500 cages, and this procurement aims to upgrade and improve their research infrastructure.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates this is a competitive procurement process targeting businesses capable of supplying specialized laboratory animal housing equipment. While specific pricing details are not provided, the document suggests the procurement is designed to meet Oakland University's scientific research needs. The solicitation follows standard federal acquisition procedures, specifically FAR Part 5.203(a)(1), which requires advance notice of procurement opportunities. The university's current mouse housing capacity and the desire to improve biosecurity appear to be the primary drivers of this proposed equipment acquisition.
