- Description
- National Institute on Drug Abuse, Office of Acquisitions- Neurosciences, Station Support/Simplified Acquisition, on behalf of the National Institute on Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) intends to negotiate on a FAR Part 13 basis and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to Sandy Jackson, 8410 Clay Drive, Fort Washington, Maryland 20744 for 480 hours of support to the NINDS Division of Extramural Services (DER) in preparation of automated data products that expedite and facilitate the review of grant applications being reviewed at NANDS Council. This automated support is provided to the DER/OD during three cycles per year. The established business process between the DER/OD office and IRMB requires specific business knowledge of the NIH grants process and the eRA enterprise database schema to provide ?electronic books? with required turn around times as short as 4 hours. There are currently over 40 books produced for each round. Each of the queries that support the creation of an electronic product requires maintenance, modification, testing and quality review for each round. Each of the data products will be updated multiple times in the workflow up to their final presentation/use at the NANDS Council. Her knowledge of the NINDS Council business process and enterprise data sources allows her to perform the creation of electronic Council books with minimal input from the DER/OD. She is able to initiate the modifications to the underlying queries and begin testing months before they are due. This business knowledge reduces the burden of interaction that the DER/OD office must have to provide requirements during their busiest times of the year. Sandra has intimate knowledge of the enterprise data repository (IMPAC II), the meaning and location of required attributes in the appropriate tables (Oracle database instances) and the structure of the data being processed (which tables to link and how). This allows her to extract and format the data products to meet the very tight turnaround deadlines required by the Council process, while maintaining extremely high data quality. She also has expert knowledge of the NINDS standard desktop, Oracle, MS Access and ODBC that enable her to perform her function. Delivery and acceptance will be at the NIH Campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 541690 and the Size Standard is $6.5 million. Period of performance is 12 months. The acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition using FAR 13 procedures 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 NOI70025 may be submitted to the NIDA, Station Support/Simplified Acquisition Branch, 31 Center Drive, Bldg 31, Room 1B59, Bethesda, MD 20892-2080, and Attention: Susan A. Nsangou, Contracting Officer
