- Description
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) is planning to award a contract for a MICROBICIDE QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MQAP). The purpose of this program is the standardization and validation of pre-clinical assays used in the development of topical microbicides. The project will not include clinical validation of the assays. The offeror must make contact with various investigators working in the field on cell/tissue-based and animal models for the pre-clinical assays and develop collaborations for participation in a MQAP. Those contacts will initially include, but not be limited to, NIH-funded program projects. The offeror will be required to coordinate and participate with the investigators in the design and implementation of the quality assurance program. The program will include implementation of the standards of performance for existing and newly developed pre-clinical assays. Independently, and in cooperation with the outside investigators, the offeror will facilitate the development, standardization and application of pre-clinical and analytical methodologies. Therein, the offeror will be expected to acquire, characterize, store, document and disburse quality control materials and reagents. The offeror will disseminate the pre-clinical assessment technical and scientific data through multiple mechanisms, including publication in peer-reviewed journals. To support the MQAP, the offeror will be required to maintain a computerized system and ensure a strong statistical component. The qualified respondent must be able to demonstrate prior experience with laboratory quality assurance programs and methodologies and have the ability to coordinate multiple investigators at both a national and international level. The required service is defined as code 541990 under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The contract is anticipated to have an initial period of 9 months for setting up the collaborations, followed by a 51 month option period if the project organization is considered to be successful. The Request for Proposal (RFP) will be available on or before August 23, 2002 through the http://FedBizOpps.gov web site. All responses must be submitted on or before October 8, 2002, to: Virginia A. DeSeau, Contracting Officer, NICHD, CMB, 6100 Building, Suite 7A07, 6100 EXECUTIVE BLVD MSC 7510, BETHESDA MD 20892-7510 (if sending by overnight carrier, use 6100 Executive Blvd., Suite 7A07, Rockville, MD 20892). Fully electronic copies will not be accepted. The reference number to be used for this announcement is: RFP NICHD-2002-05. All correspondence must cite the reference number as provided.
