- Description
- Under authority of FAR 13.106-1, The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate on sole source basis, a contract with Nature Publishing Group, The MacMillan Bldg., 4 Crinan Street, London N1 9XW, UK. The Contractor shall provide but is not limited to the following services: Shall provide together in one volume, papers describing the Human Draft Sequence, the Finished Sequence and each of the published papers describing the 22 individual Autosomes and the two sex chromosomes in detail. The volume shall contain any new material written by expert scientists commenting on the advance and how human genome sequence has advanced biomedical research so far. Shall provide publication in both hard copy and electronic format and be made available to Nature subscribers for no additional cost. Shall provide supplemental funding for this publication in an effort to keep the NHGRI?s costs down. Shall reformat and negotiate all applicable copyrights. These services shall be provided from August 2005 through July of 2006. The ordering office has stated that The Nature Publishing Group has several distinct benefits to publishing such a volume. Nature has published every one of the other Human Genome papers and thus has ready access to the material without need to reformat or negotiate copyrights. Nature has a very wide circulation that will aid in the dissemination of this material Therefore, it is the Government?s belief that these requirements may only be met by Nature Publishing Group. The estimated period of performance is for 11 months. The Northern American Industry Classification System Code is 541850, with a size standard of $6.0. This is not a formal solicitation, however, concerns that respond to this notice must furnish concise responses directed specifically to the requirements mentioned above. Sources demonstrating the capability to accomplish the above shall supply pertinent information in sufficient detail to demonstrate their ability to perform. Information furnished shall include enough material to perform a proper evaluation. Respondents will not be notified of the evaluation results.
