- 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 Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Consolidated Operations Acquisitions Center (COAC) for the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to MEDSTAR-Georgetown Medical Center Inc., 3800 Reservoir Road, Washington, D.C. 20007. This purchase is to provide training for fellows enrolled in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. Medical Genetics Residency Program. In order to meet the board certification of competency the trainees must have laboratory experiences in cytogenetics, biochemical genetics and molecular genetics. It is further necessary for the trainees to see patients with genetic disorders under the direction of an ABMG board certified geneticist. The cytogenetic lab experiences must include performing karyotypes and FISH analysis for appropriate genetic disorders. The evaluation criteria that will be utilized to review the response submitted in response to this solicitation will be as follows: 1) understanding of the technical requirements and specifications of the equipment; 2) qualifications of personnel; and 3) past performance. The sole source determination is based upon the wide array of training offered by the cytogenetics laboratory of Georgetown University and there are no other programs in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area that provides such extensive training. Awarding this purchase order to another organization would result in deficient training of the fellows working in the laboratories of NHGRI and thus would effect the ongoing laboratory research and threaten the investments already made by the government. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 622110 and the Size Standard is $31.5M. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and is exempt from the requirements of FAR part 6, Competition Requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis for consideration in any future requirements. 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 NHLBI-PB-HG-2006-323-KLW may be submitted to the National Heart Lung, and Blood Institute, Consolidated Acquisitions Center, Procurement Branch, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Suite 6042, Bethesda, MD 20892-7902, Attention: Kesha Williams.
