About this file

This document is a Minimum Essential Characteristics (MEC) requirement for a federal contract opportunity titled "Shank 2 Cryorecovery Support Services for the Medical Readiness System Biology (MRSB) at WRAIR".

The key requirements are for the contractor to develop a mouse colony from cryopreserved sperm of 2 male Shank2 homozygous Nestin-Cre hemizygous mice provided by WRAIR. The contractor must provide WRAIR with two shipments of 10 and then 30 male mice of this genetic line at 6-8 weeks of age. The contractor must also provide protocols for tamoxifen injection, gene editing testing, and maintaining the mouse colony. Additionally, the contractor must isolate and ship cryopreserved sperm from the 2 male mice to WRAIR for long-term storage.

This is a pre-solicitation notice, not a request for proposals or quotes. Responses will not be considered as offers, and no contract will be awarded. The government is only seeking information on contractor capabilities to support this requirement.
