- Description
- NOTE: Solicitation No. 32004-N-01326 posted on June 15, 2004 was incorrect. The correct solicitation number is 2004-N-01326 for the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program. Standardization Program to Improve the Clinical Measurement of Glycohemoglobin. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been and is actively represented on the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) Steering Committee, which has a critical role in the operation of the program. Of major interest to CDC is the established primary reference method, the availability of QC and reference materials, and comparative performance data analysis. CDC, Center for Environmental Health, Division of Laboratory Sciences has been funded and charged with the task to improve diagnostic care for diabetes. Specific goals include providing improved measurement of GHB testing through long term standardization of current and emerging test methods, developing a definitive reference method for HbA1c, and developing methods and interventions for improved care of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this project is to establish and operate a standardization program for glycohemoglobin (GHB) testing so that clinical laboratory results are comparable to those values reported in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT). The contractor is required to: (1) establish and maintain the DCCT primary reference method; (2) establish a network of reference laboratories, all of which maintain reference methods or precise methods traceable to the reference method; (3) monitor Network Laboratories monthly to meet monitoring criteria; (4) interact with manufacturers of GHB methods through the Network, providing assistance in standardizing their methods and then providing comparison data for certification of traceability to the DCCT; (5) provide assessment of effectiveness of the program through evaluation of independent Proficiency Testing data from College of American Pathologists (CAP); (6) provide data and reference materials to assist CDC in the development of definitive reference method; (7) establish and maintain a C-peptide standardization program for select laboratories following guidelines provided. Award of a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract in accordance with FAR Part 15 is contemplated. There will be a base period of performance of 12 months and four option periods of performance of 12 months each. The total base and option periods shall not exceed 60 months. CDC will consider all responsible sources responding to this Request for Proposals (RFP). All questions/concerns about the RFP shall be submitted via e-mail TRouthMurphy@cdc.gov . The tentative issue date is June 30, 2004, with the RFP issue date approximately 30 days after posting of the RFP. The complete solicitation package will be available and posted at this site for downloading when issued. No telephone requests of the solicitation will be accepted.
