Statement of Work Title: Non-Research Long-Term Care facility needed for the enrichment and socialization of Non-Human Primate colony. SECTION 1 – BACKGROUND The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is responsible for the appropriate disposition of its federally owned nonhuman primates (NHPs). CDC plans to retire a population of rhesus and pigtailed macaques no longer needed for federal use and requires a sanctuary to accept ownership and responsibility for providing long-term placement, lifetime care, behavioral rehabilitation, and transport support. The work relates to CDC’s broader responsibility for the safe disposition of NHPs and compliance with federal animal welfare standards. SUBSECTION A – Definitions NHP: Nonhuman primates, including Macaca Mulatta (Rhesus Macaque), Macaca nemstrina (Pig-tailed Macaque). Sanctuary Contractor: The awarded organization responsible for long-term housing and care. Intake Exam: Required comprehensive initial evaluation performed at sanctuary arrival. Quarantine: Contractor operated separation period meeting biosecurity requirements. GFAS – Global Federation of Animal Sanctuary. USDA – United States Deparmetn of Agriculture. APHIS – Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. AAALAC – American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care. SECTION 2 – PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE The purpose of this acquisition is to secure permanent housing of approximately 130 NHPs and the responsibility for providing them with a safe, compliant, and humane long-term sanctuary with a limited lead time. The contractor shall implement structured social group formation, behavioral rehabilitation, provide comprehensive lifetime care, and have sole custody and ownership for each animal. The overall objective is to ensure the seamless and humane transfer of all CDC animals into naturalistic and enriched environments that support their physical and behavioral health, within facilities that are compliant with standards set by the GFAS and that maintain these animals as set by applicable animal welfare regulations and standards. The facility must be GFAS-accredited and a sanctuary at which no research or breeding will take place. The facility must not buy, sell, or trade animals or sell animal byproducts. Direct public contact should be prohibited. The facility shall also provide species-appropriate habitat and enclosure design that supports the expression of natural behaviors. As USDA/APHIS licensure is a legal requirement for facilities that exhibit animals to the public, breed, or conduct research on them, the absence of such licensure will not be regarded as an indicator of deficiency. Since these animals will be rehomed to a GFAS-accredited sanctuary that does not exhibit, breed, or conduct research on them, USDA/APHIS licensure and AAALAC accreditation will not be requirements for selection. SECTION 3 – SCOPE OF WORK The scope of work under this contract includes finding a large-scale primate sanctuary with infrastructure, veterinary capabilities, and behavioral management systems suitable for lifetime placement of laboratory- -- 2 of 26 -- Page 3 of 26 reared macaques. The sanctuary shall take full ownership of the NHPs once they are loaded onto transport at CDC’s loading docks and shall provide full veterinary oversight, including chronic disease management. The transport of the animals must comply with all relevant state and federal transport regulations, as well as any weather or temperature limitations that affect the safe movement of the animals. The contractor shall provide all personnel, facilities, equipment, supplies, transportation, veter…
