WFUHS submitted an unsolicited research and development proposal to the USAF 59MDW/ST. This research study is titled ��Assessment of African Green Monkeys as a Large Animal Model for Hantavirus Infections.� The aim of this study is to establish the African Green Monkey (AGM) as a viable animal model for studying orthohantavirus infection to allow for a thorough understanding of the disease pathogenesis as well as serving as a model to assess potential therapeutics. This contract will be issued on a sole source basis as the Government�s market research indicates that WFUHS is the only source available for performing this unique requirement, as presented within their unsolicited research proposal. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering and Life Science (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) with a Size Standard of 1,000 employees). This announcement fulfills the synopsis requirements under FAR 5.102(a) (3) and 5.203(a). USAMRAA intends to publish a solicitation no sooner than 15 days after publishing this synopsis. Any sources that believe they are eligible and capable of providing these services must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence articulating the ability to provide the items outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered an affirmative response.
