Non-Human Primates (NHPs) Customizable Jackets

The Defense Health Agency, through the United States Army Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) on behalf of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), has issued a Request for Information seeking potential suppliers for customizable jackets designed for Non-Human Primates (NHPs). The jackets must be adaptable in sizing and constructed from durable, NHP-safe materials with reinforced seams to accommodate various species including rhesus macaques, cynomolgus macaques, African green monkeys, and common marmosets. All products must meet strict animal welfare and research compliance standards as required for laboratory research environments. Interested vendors must submit a comprehensive ten-page Capabilities Statement that includes company contact information, CAGE code, Unique Entity ID, business size designation, and SAM registration status. The submission deadline is 1300 Eastern Time on October 2, 2025, with responses to be sent via email to Ryan Jorgensen. If a future solicitation is issued, vendors may be required to provide a sample jacket for a medium cynomolgus macaque weighing 3.5-5.0 kg.

This opportunity operates under NAICS code 339112 (Veterinary Medical Equipment) with no set-aside designation, making it available to all qualifying businesses regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The anticipated procurement volume is approximately 100 jackets per year, indicating a moderate but consistent demand for these specialized research garments. No incumbent contractors or current suppliers are identified in the documentation, suggesting this may be a new requirement or the agency is conducting comprehensive market research. The RFI emphasizes that this is strictly a market research exercise with no guarantee of a future contract award, and all information submission remains voluntary. No specific budget ranges or potential award values are disclosed in the current documentation.
