Description

The National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service (CIS) intends to procure services, exhibit space, and agenda time from Baylor College of Medicine, {1720 Dryden, PMB-C, Houston, Texas 77030}, the sponsor of the 8th Biennial Symposium on Minorities, the Medically Underserved and Cancer. In conjunction with NCI purchasing the above services, NCI will become a co-sponsor of the symposium. The purpose of the symposium is to strengthen the relationships between the Baylor Intercultural Cancer Council (ICC) and other major educational outreach, and research organizations, including NCI. The CIS is responsible for supporting and encouraging the development of cancer information and education programs to minorities and the medically underserved at the local, regional, and national levels. The Intercultural Cancer Council will provide the following to the Cancer Information Service: 1) time during the symposium to present poster sessions focusing on the CIS Partnership Program; 2) exhibit space to promote CIS publications; 3) time during the symposium to hold 3 half day workshops; 4) logo presence at ICC workshops and exhibits; and 5) floor time to sponsor an ICC exhibit. Baylor College of Medicine is the only known source to the National Cancer Institute that provides such a significant symposium with the visibility needed to Aclose the gap@ on health disparities, including cancer, in racial and ethnic minority and medically underserved populations in the United States. The Symposium is one of the largest key national forums to showcase successful program strategies to reach minority and medically underserved people with cancer information. There is no other source known to NCI that sponsors a symposium for this purpose and involves the number of national organizations involved with minorities, medically underserved, and cancer. This is not a request for competitive proposal quotation. However, if any interested party is qualified to provide the above services, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NCI to determine if the source is capable of providing the above services. Capability statements must be received in the Contract Office by 1:00 PM EST on January 10, 2002. Any questions regarding this procurement should be directed to Malinda Holdcraft, Purchasing Agent at (301) 402-4509.
