- Description
- The Division of Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation (DAIT), of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), intends to compete a requirement currently being performed under a subcontract to The EMMES Corporation (N01-AI-95382). This solicitation will be a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. The NAICS code is 541710 with a size standard of 500 employees. DAIT plans, sponsors and directs national and international extramural research programs in basic immunology, asthma and allergic and immunologic diseases. Through these programs, DAIT-supported investigators conduct basic, pre-clinical and clinical investigations into the causes, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of a broad range of immune-mediated disorders. DAIT intends to solicit proposals from organizations capable of providing technical and administrative support to DAIT?s clinical research programs including the Immune Tolerance Network (ITN), the Autoimmunity Centers of Excellence (ACEs), the Cooperative Clinical Trials in Pediatric and Adult Kidney Transplantation (CCTPT and CCTAT), the Inner-City Asthma Consortium (ICAC), and the Stem Cell Transplantation Consortium (SCTC). This new contract will support all regulatory activities of the DAIT clinical research programs, providing day-to-day management of the regulatory activities of the ITN and assisting with the regulatory responsibilities of other DAIT clinical research programs. DAIT and its clinical networks interact in a complex research environment composed of, but not limited to: clinical investigators and their institutions; statistical and data analysis centers; coordinating centers; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); DHHS Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP); non-U.S. regulatory agencies; pharmaceutical companies; local and national Institutional Review Boards/Ethics Committees (IRBs/ECs); and NIH scientific and administrative personnel. This new contract will be managed by the DAIT Office of Clinical Applications, which is responsible for site monitoring and regulatory activities associated with clinical trials in organ and islet transplantation, autoimmune diseases, and asthma and allergic diseases. Work to be performed includes providing pre-meeting planning and services; on-site meeting and conference services; post-meeting/conference services; mailing lists; conference call service; administrative support for the DAIT Data and Safety Monitoring Boards; general and regulatory management and administrative support; and an orderly transition to a new contractor at the completion of this contract. It is preferred that the facility or satellite office be located near the NIH Community (Bethesda, Rockville, Maryland) or if not located in the preferred proximity, your proposal must contain a plan to demonstrate how the necessary day-to-day interactions and functions will be carried out at a distance. It is anticipated that a single cost reimbursement, completion type contract will be awarded for a 7-year period of performance beginning on or about September 30, 2004, and require an estimated 4 to 5 FTEs with expertise consistent with the operations of a project of this size and complexity. RFP-NIH-NIAID-DAIT-04-43 will be available electronically on or about December 3, 2003, may be accessed through the NIAID Contract Management Program (CMP) Home Page at http://www.niaid.nih.gov/contract and will be posted on FedBizOpps. Any qualified and responsible offeror may submit a proposal that will be considered by the Government. This notice does not commit the Government to the award of a contract. No collect calls will be accepted. No facsimile transmissions will be accepted. See Government-Wide Numbered Notes 1 and 26.
