BASIS OF AWARD
The Bulk Autoclave being down has an adverse impact on the facility mission to care for the animals in our care. With only one unit up and running reduces our capacity by half for processing the necessary feed, bedding, and water supplies for the animals. As well as potential overtime expense for the contract staff that will be needed to process and prep these items using only our one remaining bulk autoclave The requirement is being sole sourced due to the urgency of the requirement. If the unit up in a reasonable time we will be unable to continue the required support needed to autoclave the necessary feed, bedding and other materials required for the animals. This has the potential to impact 8 different ICs ongoing research projects.
