Regulatory Compliance and Permit Management

The contract entails the comprehensive management and submission of all regulatory documentation necessary to ensure lawful shipment of biological and wildlife-related materials across federal and international borders. Key responsibilities include processing CITES import and export permits, adhering to USDA compliance standards, and fulfilling AAALAC reporting obligations to maintain alignment with both U.S. and global regulatory frameworks. The work requires precision, timeliness, and deep familiarity with evolving environmental, animal welfare, and transportation laws governing the movement of regulated specimens. This subcontract is issued by Arizona State University under NAICS code 541611, which corresponds to environmental consulting services, and is posted for bid with a response deadline of July 8, 2026. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside designation or a particular geographic performance location, indicating that the vendor may operate remotely or at any location capable of fulfilling the regulatory duties. All work must be conducted to ensure zero noncompliance, as failures in documentation could result in shipment delays, legal penalties, or loss of institutional accreditation. The opportunity is accessible through the SciQuest platform, with no designated point of contact provided in the public posting.
