Blue Line Cage Bottoms and Cagewash Logistics Equipment

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate and award a contract without providing for full and open competition to Tecniplast USA Inc. for the procurement of Blue Line Cage Bottoms and Cagewash Logistics Equipment. The equipment is required to replace worn and broken caging manufactured by Tecniplast and to procure racks and related logistics equipment for transporting and washing that equipment in the cagewash facility. The equipment must be interchangeable and compatible with the Building 35 Shared Animal Facility's existing Tecniplast 1145T "Blue Line" mouse cages, refillable water bottles, and water-bottle logistics equipment. Some key points to consider are: • The NIH is seeking to procure equipment to support the Building 35 Shared Animal Facility's operations. • The equipment must be compatible with the existing Tecniplast equipment. • The contract will be awarded without providing for full and open competition. • Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice. • Responses must be received by June 29, 2026, at 9:00 AM Eastern time.
