National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is soliciting proposals from qualified organizations to provide veterinary care, brain biopsy/autopsy support, technical support, treatment, and housing of a research animal colony of approximately 260 nonhuman primates and 4 horses. Included in the nonhuman primates are 84 chimpanzees, 20 Old World monkeys, and 152 New World monkeys. In addition, to the above, the NINDS is looking to continue the maintenance of a specific pathogen free rhesus monkey breeding colony. Specific pathogen-free (SPF) rhesus monkeys must be developed and maintained in order to provide an animal that does not harbor viruses which may confound human retroviral research (HIV, HTLV-1, EIA, etc.) This breeding colony must be able to provide approximately 10 young adult monkeys (4-5 years old) annually to NINDS scientist. It is anticipated that one cost reimbursement, level-of-effort type contract will be awarded for a period of five years. Request for Proposals (RFP) NIH-NINDS-98-10 will be available electronically on or about June 1, and may be accessed through the World Wide Web at the following URL: http://www.ninds.nih.gov/about_ninds/clusters/contracts_management_branch.htm/. All information required for the submission of an offer will be contained in the electronic RFP package. Response to the RFP will be due on or about July 15, 1998.
