PLISTBC-.DWG

The document PLISTBC-.DWG is a Pre-Solicitation Notice from Oakland University in Michigan, concerning a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Individually Ventilated Cages, Racks, and Associated Parts-Accessories for Mice. The university intends to procure 8-10 new ventilated caging systems to enhance its current rodent housing capacity and improve biosecurity for mouse rooms. Currently, Oakland University maintains approximately 2,000 rodents in 500 cages and is seeking qualified businesses to fulfill this requirement through a solicitation process aligned with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 and Part 5.203(a)(1) procedures.

The pre-solicitation notice does not provide specific details about pricing, funding sources, or set-asides. The primary objective appears to be expanding and modernizing the university's laboratory animal housing infrastructure by introducing advanced ventilated cage systems that can improve animal welfare and research environment conditions. The RFP will be structured to select vendors capable of providing comprehensive caging solutions that meet Oakland University's scientific and operational requirements for mouse research facilities.
