Non-Human Primates

Arizona State University is seeking qualified suppliers to provide non-human primates including Cynomolgus macaques, Rhesus macaques, Pigtail macaques, Stump-tailed macaques, Common marmosets, and Vervet monkeys for preclinical research purposes. The solicitation, designated as ASU-RFP 092601, requires proposers to demonstrate full compliance with federal and institutional regulations, including USDA APHIS Animal Welfare Act licensing, CDC NHP Importer Registration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permits, CITES documentation, OLAW assurance, and IACUC oversight. All animals must undergo rigorous pre-shipment health screening for pathogens such as Herpes B, SRV, SIV, STLV, TB, and select bacterial agents, with two negative TB tests conducted at least two weeks apart and one within 30 days of delivery. Proposers must provide detailed medical histories, breeder statements, IATA-compliant transport plans, contingency protocols, veterinary licenses, and proof of AAALAC accreditation if applicable. Delivery must occur at ASU’s Tempe campus during business hours Monday through Thursday, with final acceptance only granted after on-site inspection and written confirmation by university personnel. Animals must remain free from undisclosed disease for 30 days post-acceptance, with replacement or refund obligations for failures. The proposal must include a comprehensive response to specifications (30%), proposer qualifications (30%), pricing (20%), sustainability (10%), and adherence to ASU’s terms and conditions (10%), indicating a trade-off evaluation process prioritizing overall value over lowest price. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the SunRISE/Jaggaer portal by June 17, 2026, and must include certifications regarding federal debarment, tax delinquency, criminal convictions, and anti-lobbying compliance. Required attachments include current licenses, permits, and assurance documents, though no formal Section J list is provided. Contractors must carry animal mortality, transit, and general liability insurance, and payment will be made net thirty days via procurement card, with no electronic invoicing systems like WAWF used. The contracting officer is Christin Burek, and all contract terms are non-negotiable unless formally requested with justification. No CLINs or pricing figures are pre-filled; bidders must complete all cost sections. Supply chain transparency and subcontractor accountability are mandatory, and the university reserves the right to add or modify
