Animal & Exposure Facility Support for Morgantown Research

The contract seeks to support the care and maintenance of research animals and provide essential laboratory technical services for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Morgantown, ensuring the integrity of workplace exposure research. Animals must be housed and managed under strictly controlled environmental conditions to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of experimental outcomes, as any deviation could compromise the validity of data used to establish occupational exposure limits. This includes comprehensive animal husbandry, facility maintenance, and technical assistance to facilitate high-quality scientific studies conducted by NIOSH researchers. The work will be performed in support of CDC’s mission to protect worker health through science-based recommendations. The contract falls under NAICS code 541940, indicating research and development in the biological sciences, and is managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with Richard Probst listed as the program point of contact. While the contracting officer position remains open, the primary operational location and performance site are tied to the Morgantown research facility. The forecasted posting date of May 25, 2026, suggests future procurement activity aimed at sustaining critical laboratory infrastructure and personnel support necessary for ongoing public health research.
