Contract 68HERC22D0010 is an Environmental Protection Agency initiative to secure contractor support for conducting short-term oral exposure studies on high priority compounds using male and female rats. The scope of work begins with oral tolerability studies to establish appropriate dose ranges, followed by a five-day period of daily oral gavage exposure. Upon the termination of the studies, the contractor is responsible for removing select tissues and preserving them in Ribonucleic Acid solution. These samples must be frozen and delivered to the EPA or a designated third-party contractor for further analysis. The project is categorized under NAICS code 541715.
