Background Providing laboratory support that improves the rapid and accurate detection and diagnosis of chemical threat agents, radiologic threat agents and selected toxins is one of the missions of CDC's National Center for Environmental Health/Division of Laboratory Sciences. Purpose and Objectives The primary objective of this requirement is to procure mini-pig urine produced using radionuclides administered to the mini-pigs and incorporated into their urine via their natural metabolic processes (i.e., as if by ingestion or inhalation) to support the emergency response method for analysis of urine for Polonium-210 content. Project Requirements 1) A total of twelve (12) or more liters of mini-pig urine produced using subject radionuclides administered to the mini-pigs and incorporated into their urine via their natural metabolic processes (i.e., as if by ingestion or inhalation). 2) At least four (4) liters each of three sets of urine, each containing three different radionuclides with, at a minimum, the average concentrations listed in the attached table, manufactured as described above. These average activities are required in the urine upon receipt by CDC. 3) Each set of urine will be provided to CDC in aliquots as collected daily per mini-pig. Anticipated Period of Performance The Period of Performance is estimated to be 90 days from the date of award. Other Important Considerations None Capability Statements PAGE LIMIT 10 PAGES.
