PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

Allentown Nexgen Mouse 500 Reusable IVC Housing and Air Handling Equipment

1. Statement of Need and Purpose

The purpose of this acquisition is to procure equipment to expand lab animal holding capacity, as well as replace worn and broken equipment within the Building 35 Shared Animal Facility (35 SAF) to support new and ongoing research protocols. The equipment procured must be interchangeable and compatible with the existing Allentown Nexgen Mouse 500 Individually Ventilated Cage (IVC) housing equipment (racks, cages, and required accessory items) and Air Handling Units (AHUs).

2. Background Information and Objective

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), conducting research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of neurological disorders and stroke. The NINDS mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system and to use that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease.

The Animal Health Care Section (AHCS) of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is tasked with veterinary care, management, and oversight of the Building 35 SAF. The Building 35 SAF currently houses approximately 16,000 mouse and rat cages, consisting primarily of mice. The rodents housed in these cages are used by numerous NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) to carry out their research missions. The institutes and centers sharing in this research endeavor are:

National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) National Institute on Deafness and Other Communicative Disorders (NIDCD) National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) National Eye Institute (NEI) National Institute on Aging (NIA) National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) National Center on Complimentary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)

The Building 35 SAF requires additional brand name or equal reusable IVC housing and air handling equipment. This requirement includes IVC cage racks, mouse cage setups, air handling units (AHUs), hoses, and other accessories required to make this equipment work, such as power cords and identification card holders. This equipment is needed to increase holding capacity, optimize use of existing animal holding space, and replace cage equipment broken equipment. The purchase of new IVC racks and AHUs will both increase overall holding space in the Building 35 SAF and facilitate an optimized arrangement of IVC racks in the vivarium that will increase operational efficiency. Mouse cage setups are required to deploy the new IVC racks for animal holding. Additional mouse cage components are required to replace items already in use that, while durable, have been subjected to wear and tear since their purchase in 2013. A percentage of this equipment breaks during each year of use and must be replaced to continue operations.
