- 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 Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Station Support/Simplified Acquisition (SS/SA) Branch on behalf of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to Ms. Suzanne McGarity, Washington, DC, to obtain specific intake information to specific units within the hospital, recruitment, guidance and referral services for people in crisis, assessment and research coordination of patients selected for NIMH Family Study of Affective and Anxiety Spectrum Disorders, Protocol 03-M-0211. Ms. McGarity has worked at NIH the last two years and has been an asset to the section. Her background is in clinical psychology and was involved in the development and implementation of the semi-structured diagnostic interview that is being used in the study. She piloted the interview with research participants, prepared reports and gave feedback to the investigators based on the cases that she piloted. She participated in the training and supervision of new interviewers, reviewed completed interviews, and provided feedback to those being trained. The sole source determination is based upon Ms McGarity thorough training in all of the procedures used in the Family Study including medical history, interviews about headaches (migraines), sleep disorders, and family histories about mood and anxiety disorders in first and second degree relatives of the research participants. She has excellent interpersonal skills that contribute to her ability to recruit, screen, and interview and retain research participants in addition to working with other staff members. Ms. McGarity?s knowledge and experience is essential to the continuation of the research that is ongoing in the Section on Developmental Genetic Psychopathology. The time-limited nature of this project requires that we have someone trained in the recruitment and screening of study participants and the administration of interviews. Continuity among staff members is essential to the longitudinal nature of the study and to the completion of the project on schedule. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 541990 and the Size Standard is $6.0M. The acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition and is exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6, Competition Requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis. 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 NOI60029 may be submitted to the NIDA, Station Support/Simplified Acquisition Branch, 31 Center Drive, Room 1B59, Bethesda, MD 20892, Attention: Roshawn Simpson.
