The sole source determination is based upon the knowledge, skills, and expertise that Dr. Knazek has gained in the last twenty (20) years working with the National Institutes of Health and academic institutions, and specifically, in the ten (10) years of working with the Division of Clinical Research Resources within the NCRR. During the past twenty (20) years, Dr. Knazek has gained an in-depth understanding of the extramural and intramural environments at the NIH and the ability to communicate effectively with both areas of science and research. Dr. Knazek?s proactive approach, with respect to the management of these clinical research resource programs, reflects not only his intense support of the clinical research enterprise, but also of his innovational approach to complex, difficult, and often high-profile situations. He is a very effective communicator and advocate for the research community. In order to continue this critical work without a lapse in service, NCRR requires the expertise of Dr. Knazek to provide the continuity to continue the work within the Division of Clinical Research Resources without disruption of service. For the reasons specified herein, it is most cost effective to award this contract to Dr. Knazek who has the expertise in the scientific area, the understanding of the NIH environment, and the specific knowledge and experience within the clinical research resource programs supported by the Division of Clinical Research Resources. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 541990 and the Size Standard is $6.0M. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government.
