About this opportunity
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) within the Department of Health and Human Services is seeking bat colony management and veterinary care services through Notice of Intent NOI-NIAID-25-00001. The procurement specifically involves the care and maintenance of a Jamaican Fruit Bat colony, which the government intends to negotiate as a non-competitive contract with Colorado State University's Laboratory Animal Resources. NIAID has determined that Colorado State University is the sole source capable of providing these specialized services due to compatibility requirements. The government is utilizing the statutory authority under 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 13.106-1, which permits sole source selection when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. Interested vendors may challenge this sole source determination by submitting capability statements to Matt Lear at matt.lear@nih.gov by 11:00am Eastern Standard Time on September 22, 2025, though the government retains discretion on whether to proceed competitively based on received responses.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and identifies Colorado State University's Laboratory Animal Resources as the intended sole source contractor. The contract will be performed in Bethesda, Maryland, with the specific location being Bethesda, MD 20892. While the Notice of Intent does not specify award values, budget ranges, quantities, or detailed service timelines, it represents a specialized requirement for ongoing care and maintenance of a bat colony used presumably for research purposes. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 541611 for Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services and PSC category R707 for Contract/Procurement/Acquisition Support. The extremely short response window of just four days from posting to deadline suggests this is a time-sensitive requirement with limited expectation of competitive interest given the specialized nature of the services.
