The National Institutes of Health Olao, under the Department of Health and Human Services, has awarded a sole source cost reimbursement contract for the operation and maintenance of the Chimpanzee Care Center. The base period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with a total performance period extending through February 29, 2032. The work will be performed in Houston, Texas, under NAICS code 541940. A cost reimbursement structure was selected over a fixed-price contract because the animal census driven requirements are dynamic, making precise cost estimation and specifications unfeasible. This contractual approach allows the government to maintain necessary flexibility to adapt to evolving needs and avoid undue risk associated with the uncertainties of the project.

Full Description

Show more

A sole source cost reimbursement type contract was awarded, for the period of performance of September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 (Base Period), and a total period of performance (including base period and all options) of September 1, 2026 through February 29, 2032. Upon analysis of the type of work and all associated costs involved, a fixed-price type contract was not feasible due to the absence of precise specifications and difficulties in estimating costs with accuracy. Based upon the uncertainties involved, the Government would assume undue risk in attempting to fit a relatively dynamic (animal census driven) requirement into a fixed-price environment. A fixed-price contract would be disadvantageous to the Government, since it does not provide the Government with the flexibility that is needed to responsibly shift with the evolving needs of the requirement.
