About this opportunity
The National Institute on Aging is soliciting proposals to provide development and maintenance services for an aged rodent tissue bank. Under this cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, the selected contractor will be required to collect tissues from NIA's colonies of aged rats and mice, flash-freeze the tissues, and provide them to NIA-funded investigators upon request. Proposals are due by August 1, 2020, with award anticipated by March 1, 2021. The evaluation will consider technical approach, qualifications, and price. All proposals over $700,000 must include an acceptable small business subcontracting plan.
There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. The NAICS code is 541715 and PSC code is R425. The base period of performance is from March 2021 through February 2022, with options to extend for up to four additional years. The contractor will maintain frozen tissues in three freezers located at the place of performance in Bethesda, Maryland. While no maximum total or direct cost is specified, the cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement and attached small business subcontracting plan provide guidance on budget expectations.
Notice text
The NIA is planning to procure services to provide a mechanism whereby investigators can purchase specific tissues from the animals in the NIA aged rodent colonies. The tissue will be unfixed and flash-frozen, rendering it suitable for most molecular biology protocols and many histological and cytochemical protocols. The Contractor shall be required to formalin-or ethanol-fix tissues and make tissue arrays to meet the specific needs of NIA funded investigators.
