About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services' National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) is seeking to modify an existing contract with The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) for the "Repository of Mouse Models for Cytogenetic Research" under Contract No. 75N94020C00009. The primary objective is to exercise the Option to Extend Services under FAR clause 52.217-8, which requires negotiating pricing and terms in advance to ensure contractual authority for potential contract extension. Key contract requirements include maintaining specialized mouse models for Down syndrome research, specifically breeding and preserving the Ts65Dn mouse model, acquiring potential new strains, convening a Scientific Advisory Board, cryopreserving embryos, distributing animal models to approved investigators, testing for pathogens, characterizing mouse strains, and providing monthly reporting. Interested parties must submit capability statements by 3:00 PM EST on May 15, 2025, to specified NIH contact emails, referencing contract number 75N94020C00009. The government retains sole discretion on competition for this requirement.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this contract opportunity. The incumbent contractor is The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), which has been performing the current contract. While specific award values are not detailed, the contract anticipates supplying 150-300 mice to federal investigators per option year. The contract falls under the NAICS category 541714 for Research and Development in Biotechnology and PSC category AN12 for Health R&D Services. The modification is part of a sole-source contract action, meaning the government intends to continue working with the current contractor. The contract is classified as a civilian agency procurement within the biotechnology research and development sector, focusing on specialized mouse model research for scientific investigations.
Notice text
The purpose of this action is to modify Contract No. 75N94020C00009, titled "Repository of Mouse Models for Cytogenetic Research," to obtain the authority to exercise the Option to Extend Services under FAR clause 52.217-8. Although FAR 52.217-8 was incorporated into the original contract, the costs associated with exercising this option were not evaluated or negotiated at the time of award. Therefore, a new contract action is required to negotiate pricing and terms in advance, so the Government has the contractual authority to exercise the extension if necessary.
