- Description
- The National Library of Medicine (NLM) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Knowtis Design, Inc. in an effort to raise public awareness about the services and programs of the NLM. Knowtis Design will 1) produce 2500 MEDLINEPlus physicians outreach kits 2) produce mailing labels and prescription pads 3) produce Lucite Stand to hold materials. After meeting with numerous design firms and other potential contractors, NLM has determined that Knowtis design is the only vendor that could meet NLM's needs. Knowtis Design is uniquely qualified to assist NLM in its design needs based on their current NIH experience with the NLM and other institutes. They have an understanding of the NIH and NLM structure, health and science content, science and biomedical research involved and the audiences that the NLM needs to reach. Additionally, Knowtis Designs has been responsible for successfully developing the many NLM outreach projects, and was also responsible for creating the NLM Capabilities Brochures. Another vendor would require a considerable amount of time to reach a similar level of understanding that would limit our ability to produce these deliverables highlighting the products and services of NLM with regards to MEDLINEPlus in a timely fashion. Our goal is to reach the targeted physician's market and their patients by October 31, 2002. This period of performance is a critical element and must be mid-October, 2002. This service will be procured under FAR Part 12 - Acquisition of Commercial Items. This is not a Request for Quotations ( RFQ), nor is an RFQ available, however, all responsible and responsive sources may submit a proposal that will be considered by the NLM. Firms interested in responding to this notice must be able to provide the professional technical services as specified above. Responses should demonstrate the firm's ability to meet the government's requirements. Responses are required within 7 (seven) calendar days from the publication date of this notice. NLM synopsis No. 02-244 shall be noted on all correspondence to this announcement. Inquiries regarding this procurement may be made to Michael G. Kapsilis, Contract Specialist (301) 496 6546 kapsilm@mail.nlm.nih.gov or Karen Riggs, Contracting Officer, (301) 496 6545.
