This announcement constitutes the only combined synopsis/solicitation, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation includes all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through FAR FAC 01-09 August 2002. The North American Industry Classification System code is 541380 and the business size standard is $6M. The Clinical Pharmacology Scientific Core (CPSC), Medical Oncology Clinical Research Unit, Center for Cancer Research, NCI has as its primary research interest the use of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic methods to develop new anticancer and antiretroviral agents. The CPSC, is utilizing compartmental and non-compartmental methods to define the therapeutic range for these agents. Moreover, several of CPSC clinical trials have utilized adaptive control with feedback mechanisms. Likewise, the CPSC collaborates with numerous intramural and extramural groups by providing pharmacokinetic and analytical support. Because utilizing these techniques to optimize the development of new anticancer agents requires a team of individuals with specialized skills (i.e., pharmacokinetic modeling techniques, analytical techniques, pharmacodynamic techniques, etc.) success is dependent on a coordinated effort between the disciplines. The CPSC requires the skills of an analytical chemist to participate in the analysis of CAI and UCN01. Such a specialist is needed to characterize the pharmacokinetics in preclinical models.
