AJ12 - Zebrafish Research Study on effects of neurotixins

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking research and development services for an advanced zebrafish research study focused on investigating the effects of neurotoxins. This pre-solicitation notice indicates a scientific research contract within the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences domain, specifically coded under NAICS 541715. The primary objective appears to be conducting applied research to understand neurological impacts of toxin exposure using zebrafish as a research model. The point of contact for this opportunity is Ms. Nicholas Haas, who can be reached via email at NICHOLAS.A.HAAS10.CIV@US.NAVY.MIL. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, potential contractors can expect rigorous scientific and technical assessment of proposed methodologies.

The contract opportunity does not have a specific set-aside designation, suggesting open competition among qualified research institutions or scientific laboratories. The posted date is April 15, 2025, with responses due by April 16, 2025, indicating a very short turnaround time for potential bidders. The contract is categorized under Product Service Code AJ12 for General Science and Technology R&D Services, with a focus on applied research. While precise budget ranges are not specified, research contracts of this nature typically require substantial funding and specialized scientific capabilities. Potential contractors should have robust scientific infrastructure, expertise in neurotoxicology, and experience conducting detailed biological research using zebrafish as a research model.
