Non-Research Long-Term Care facility needed for the enrichment and socialization of Non-Human Primate colony

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation (Solicitation Number: 75D30126Q79062) issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for securing a long-term sanctuary for approximately 130 nonhuman primates (NHPs). The solicitation seeks a Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) accredited facility to provide permanent housing, lifetime care, behavioral rehabilitation, and transport support for rhesus and pigtailed macaques. The selected contractor will take full ownership of the animals, provide comprehensive veterinary care, and ensure their placement in naturalistic, enriched environments. Key requirements include GFAS accreditation, experienced veterinarians, appropriate enclosures, and adherence to animal welfare standards. Proposals will be evaluated based on GFAS accreditation (Go/No Go), facility information, staffing, animal management, safety plans, past performance, and price, with technical factors being significantly more important than price. The contract will be firm-fixed-price, and submissions are due by July 13, 2026.
