- Description
- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to Lawrence Friedman, LLC, 11712 Farmland Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20852, for the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) to provide consultation services to the Director of the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), and the Senior Advisor on Clinical and Translational Sciences. STATEMENT OF WORK: 1) Providing scientific review of documents, policies, and issues as they relate to Roadmap initiatives (e.g. those related to NECTAR) that will impact translational and clinical sciences. 2) Provide advice concerning new initiatives in clinical and translational research that are being developed by a trans-NIH committee under the direction of NCRR and will also review and critique the final documents. 3) Provide updates on meetings held both internal to NIH and externally with the extramural community, sponsored by NCRR to foster the smooth transition and integration and developing programs in NCRR. This project is expected to require 224 man hours during the period of performance, beginning on July 5, 2005, through January 4, 2006. The sole source determination is based upon the knowledge, skills, and expertise of the extramural environments at NIH and the ability to communicate effectively with both areas of science and research; also, the successful management of clinical research programs utilizing innovational approaches to complex, difficult, and often high-profile situations. For all these reasons, it is most cost effective to award this contract to Dr. Friedman who has the expertise in the scientific area, the understanding of the NIH environment, and the specific knowledge and experience of Roadmap initiatives. An award to any other source would affect the NIH’s anticipated outcome based upon Dr. Friedman’s experience, and would not provide any cost savings to the Government. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 541990 and the Size Standard is $6.0M. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13, simplified acquisition procedures. It is noted that FAR Part 6, Competition Requirement is not applicable to simplified acquisition. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties are requested to review the above requirements, and submit a statement of interest which includes: documented experience in clinical study design and monitoring and in data access issues, particularly related to clinical research data; familiarity with medical-scientific public communications and interactions with other government agencies; documented intimate knowledge of NIH regulations and policies, including NIH cooperative agreements, contracts and grants policies. The statement of interest must propose a methodology of assuring the achievement of timely and acceptable performance of the work, as well as the proposed method for administration of costs relevant to this contract, and at least three (3) references documenting past performance experiences and completion of the project. The submission will be evaluated on the Offeror’s hourly rate, documented knowledge, skills, abilities, and experiences as reflected in the statement of interest, and past performance. The statement of interest must be submitted on or before June 24, 12:00 noon. 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. Comments to this announcement, referencing synopsis number “NHLBI-PS-2005-112-DDC,” may be submitted to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Contracts Operations Branch, Procurement Section, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Suite 6042, Bethesda, MD 20814-7902, Attention: Deborah Coulter.
