1. Statement of Need and Purpose:

The Vaccine Research Center (VRC), Translation Research Program (TRP), requires 1225 square feet of secured off-site storage to maintain Emergency/Pandemic Preparedness Supplies and the storage of critical caging and cage components, rodent housing racks, and scientific equipment required to sustain vivarium operations. Additionally, the TRP requires that the vendor provide, free of charge, one-day turn around for the delivery of stored supplies as well as three-day turn around for pick-up of any supplies needing to be stored.

2. Background Information and Objective:

The Vaccine Research Center (VRC), is a part of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The Translational Research Program of the Vaccine Research Center is tasked with veterinary care, management, and oversight of the Building 40 vivarium. The Building 40 vivarium currently houses approximately 4,000 mouse and guinea pig cages, consisting primarily of mice. The rodents housed in cages are used by VRC Principal Investigators and labs to carry out their research missions.

The VRC/TRP plans to acquire a secure warehouse to store and transport critical supplies required to ensure the continuity of operations of the vivarium.

A. Secured warehouse: 24-hour video surveillance, security guard during night hours and weekends, smoke/fire detectors & extinguishers, and pest/vermin control.

C. Warehouse must have Temperature and Humidity Control, maintaining temperatures above 60OF and below 85OF, and humidity maintained below 70%.

D. Free Labor and Transportation of goods/supplies: Free of Charge, one-day turn around delivery of stored supplies. Free of charge, three-day turn around, for picking-up of supplies needing to be stored, primarily from the VRC loading dock.

4. Deliverables:

A. Transportation and Labor of supplies from current warehouse to new warehouse.

B. Upon request, provide an update inventory of stored supplies space.

C. Upon request, return supplies to the VRC from the storage warehouse with-in 24 hours.

D. Upon request, pick-up supplies from the VRC with-in 72 hours.

E. Upon request, provide records of pest control, and temperature and humidity logs.

5. Period of Performance:
