Transfer of Macaques to Born Free USA Sanctuary

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary for the transfer of up to 162 nonhuman primates (NHPs) to their sanctuary. The contractor will be responsible for providing a safe, compliant, and humane long-term sanctuary for the NHPs, including veterinary oversight, chronic disease management, structured social group formation, behavioral rehabilitation, and comprehensive lifetime care. The contractor will also have sole custody and ownership of the animals once they are loaded onto transports at CDC's loading docks. • The contractor must be a GFAS-accredited sanctuary with demonstrated experience in the long-term care, housing, veterinary management, and social integration of macaques. • The contractor must have the capacity to accept all the CDC's macaques through a phased intake within CDC's required timeframe. • The contractor must provide a schedule that aligns with CDC's required transition timeline. • The contractor must have relevant experience transitioning animals from research environments into sanctuary housing, including behavioral assessment, social introduction, and ongoing monitoring.
