Description

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), National Institutes of Health, intends to negotiate a contract with Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), Woods Hole, Massachusetts, on a sole source basis for logistical and technical support for the Institute?s Division of Intramural Research (DIR). The DIR, NINDS has operated several of its labs including the Laboratory of Neurobiology and Laboratory of Neurochemistry at an outside marine laboratory on a part-time basis over the last 18 years. A five-year (base year plus four option years)continuation of this program beginning May 2007 is anticipated. The program will support important research in neural cells and neural cell membranes, neuronal signaling, and short and long-term memory mechanisms. It is based on the need in the NINDS, DIR for live squid and other marine invertebrates to investigate the cellular function underlining central nervous system function. MBL will provide a science based working environment at a marine facility with capabilities to collect and hold the Atlantic squid, Loligo Peallii, and other marine invertebrates. Support will include technical services in the areas of mariculture, biochemistry, and computer programming. Logistical support will be required in the areas of squid collection, shop services, photo and graphics, and laboratory space. MBL has the prerequisite skilled personnel, technical experience, resources and facilities necessary for continued performance of this acquisition. MBL is considered to be the only responsible source for this work pursuant to 41 USC 253c(1) as set forth in FAR 6.302-1. Organizations that believe that they can provide these services should submit their capabilities currently in place to the Contracting Officer at the above address within 45 days from the date of this announcement. Inherent duplication of cost to the Government and unacceptable delays in obtaining this support make competition of this requirement not feasible. This is not a formal solicitation or an announcement for a Request for Proposals (RFP). See Note 22 and Note 26.
