This study is an ongoing collaborative study between NIEHS and NCSU to create a database that contains the promoter regions for all of the known human genes and implementing a computational algorithm to scan for potential transcription factor binding sites in these sequences. Pattern recognition methods will be used to identify unique transcription factor binding motifs that can distinguish between different classes of genes, e.g., G1 cell cycle genes vs G2 cell cycle genes. NCSU possesses the expertise in gene classification and function prediction using computational techniques that is required to continue this study. All responsible sources may respond by submitting a written narrative statement of capability within 15 days of date of notice to Elaine Shoaf at the above address or e-mail shoaf1@niehs.nih.gov for consideration by the agency.

Responses shall also include itemized pricing that is sufficient to make a determination that competition is feasible. If no affirmative responses are received within 15 days of this notice to determine whether a qualified source is more advantageous to the Government, an order will be placed with North Carolina State University. The NAICS Code/Size is 541690/$6.0M. This procurement is to be processed using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. There is no solicitation package available.
