- Description
- The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Station Support/Simplified Acquisition (SS/SA) Branch, on behalf of the National Institute on Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), intends to negotiate and award a purchase order for the requirement of generation of frozen tissue sample lists. NINDS has a need to significantly reduce the NINDS frozen inventory of tissue specimens held in 26 ultra-low freezers in long-term storage at Cryonix in Rockville, Maryland. In order to appropriately and scientifically reduce this extensive inventory of thousands of stored specimens to a small, usable archive for the scientific community, computer lists based on scientific criteria need to be generated that indicate the disposition (save or discard) of each specimen in the collection. Specific tasks include: six inventory lists of frozen tissues as follows: human and animal tissues to retain, human and animal tissues to discard, human and animal tissues of questionable retention. The contractor will use the specimen records provided by the NINDS. The period of performance is 12 months. It is anticipated that 600 hours will be required for this requirement. The Government intends to select the offer that represents the best value to the Government, price and all other factors considered. Evaluation factors include: 1) Technical approach to the requirements, 2) personnel experience with frozen tissue samples including inventory, 3) past performance. This Request for Quotations (RFQ) 60041 is due on July 5, 2006 3 PM EST in 1 original and 2 copies.
