Notice text
For over 40 years, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has supported a facility at the Chimpanzee Care Center
(CCC), MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas, in Bastrop, TX to care for NIH-owned chimpanzees.
The program previously supported biomedical research on chimpanzees but ceased biomedical/invasive research
in 2012. Since NIH's announcement on November 18, 2015 eliminating biomedical research on NIH-owned andsupported
chimpanzees, the CCC has continued to provide care for the chimpanzees residing at their facility until
those animals that could be transferred to the Federal Sanctuary were retired. Chimpanzees that were deemed
unable to relocate to the Federal Sanctuary due to a high probability that "relocation would severely and irreversibly
accelerate deterioration of the chimpanzee's physical and behavioral health" (Announcement_of_Agency_Decision-
Relocation_of_At-Risk_Chimpanzees) remain at the CCC. The NIH requires a Contractor to operate and maintain the
facility at the CCC and care for the NIH-owned chimpanzees.
Awarded contract 75N97021C00001 to MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER: for 7970187.00 on 2020-12-12.
