- The Government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health (Columbia) for a pilot study entitled, ?Famine, de novo Mutations and Schizophrenia.? The purpose of the proposed study is to collect requisite clinical data, DNA, and RNA to test this hypothesis in a uniquely informative context. The pilot study will be conducted in China, where millions of persons were exposed to periconceptional famine. Columbia will find and interview a sample of individuals who developed schizophrenia after prenatal exposure to famine, and first degree relatives of each of these individuals. Blood samples will be collected on these individuals and their relatives, the samples will be transported and DNA and RNA extracted of sufficient quantity and quality for the proposed genomic analysis. The period of performance will be for twelve months with a planned award date of February 12, 2007. Sole Source Authority: 41 USC 253(c)(1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1--Only One Responsible Source.

Any other interested sources desiring consideration for this requirement must fully identify their interest and capabilities to the Contracting Officer listed above no later than 4:00 p.m. on January 12, 2007.
