Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to issue a sole source firm fixed priced purchase order to Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is Congressionally mandated under the Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act of 1992 (FCSRCA) with publishing an annual report of pregnancy success rates and embryo laboratory certification status and developing a model program for certification of embryo laboratories. Congress directed: 1) all assisted reproductive technology (ART) clinics to report medical information on each patient, 2) CDC to analyze cycle specific clinic data, and 3) present it simply in an annual report so that the consumer has the ability to understand it in order to make informed decisions regarding the use of ART. In order to meet the requirements of FCSRCA, CDC conducts surveillance of ART procedures performed in the U.S. Currently, CDC obtains the necessary data for its surveillance activities from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), a professional organization representing ART clinics. This data was obtained annually through a contract with SART and used to publish the report. To date CDC has obtained data for eight reporting years (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003).The proposed contract action is for services which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-3. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. This procurement is not set-aside for small business. For contractual questions contact Mathew Ellington at mce8@cdc.gov.
