- Description
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is soliciting offers from organizations with the expertise to undertake targeted research essential to the development of therapeutics, diagnostics, and preventive measures for emerging infectious diseases, including bioterrorism agents. The emphasis is to cover agents found at the NIAID Category A, B & C Priority Pathogens website. This list is a subset of the NIAID List of Emerging and Re-emerging Diseases 2003. The statement of work for this effort is divided into six Parts: A) In vitro screening, B) Clinical isolate panels, C) Small animal models, D) Non-human primate models, E) Safety/toxicology and immunogenicity testing of vaccines, and F) Safety/toxicology and pharmacology testing of therapeutics. These Parts will provide a ready capacity in a number of needed areas and will be utilized as products become available for testing. Test articles that are found to have activity in Part A may progress through development using contractors from other parts. It is anticipated that multiple contract awards will be made for each part of this Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) solicitation. After the basic contract awards are made, task orders will be competed in accordance with FAR Part 16.505 under Parts A, B, C, D, E or F based on the specific requirements of the task order. The RFP contains one sample task order for each of these six parts for evaluation purposes. In response to this RFP, potential Offerors may submit proposals for one or more of the six Parts described above. For Parts A and B, Offerors should propose as many organisms or groups of organisms as possible. Within Parts C and D, Offerors may submit proposals for one or more of the models using the same organisms/disease or models for more than one organism/disease. Offerors for Parts E and F should propose comprehensive services to cover all aspects of the Statement of Work. All Offerors that receive a contract award are eligible for the guaranteed minimum(s). Offerors that receive awards for more than one Part will be eligible for the guaranteed minimum for each Part awarded. Offerors that make the Contractor pool and can provide multiple organisms/models within a Part will be eligible for a single minimum for that Part. The following scale will determine the guaranteed minimum dollar awards for each Part: Part A $75,000 Part B $75,000 Part C $100,000 Part D $150,000 Part E $100,000 Part F $100,000 NIAID anticipates the award of these contracts beginning approximately September 30, 2004. RFP NIH-NIAID-DMID-04-40 will be available electronically on or about December 16, 2003 and may be accessed at http://www.niaid.nih.gov/contract/rfps.htm. Only electronic copies of the solicitation will be available. All information required for the submission of an offer will be contained in the solicitation. Responses to this RFP will be due approximately March 1, 2004. The NAICS Code applicable to this requirement is 541710. The small business size standard is 500 employees. Subcontracting is encouraged. Any responsible Offeror may submit a proposal that will be considered by the Government, however, this notice does not commit the Government to the award of a contract. No collect calls will be accepted. See Numbered Note 26.
