This requirement is being set aside 100% for small businesses. In accordance with DFARS 252.204-7004, all interested contractors shall be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) data base.

The Government does not intend t o use FAR Part 12 for this acquisition. The MRC shall be a drug or biologic that can be expeditiously developed, and when used after exposure to doses of ionizing radiation sufficient to cause the gastrointestinal (GI) syndrome of acute radiation syndrome , will either prevent/reduce the extent of incipient radiation injury or promote repair of manifest radiation injury to allow preservation/restoration of the anatomic integrity and normal physiologic functioning of the GI tract resulting in increased survi val, reduced incapacitation, and sustained operational effectiveness. The MRC should be delivered by minimally invasive means and in as few doses as possible. The MRC should have minimal logistics requirements, preferably not requiring refrigeration. Dev elopment and delivery of the MRC product shall require a Contractor to coordinate and manage the activities associated with advanced development of the product. The Contractor will be responsible for conducting the various activities associated with drug/b iologic development in manners that are consistent with eventual approval or licensure by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Associated activities will include, but are not limited to: manufacturing process development and related tasks, current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)-compliant small-scale manufacturing and testing of the radiation countermeasure product, Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)-compliant acute toxicology testing in animals, filing of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application, and conducting a Phase I clinical trial in accordance with FDA regulations and guidelines. After successful completion of the Phase I clinical study and Government review, the Contractor shall conduct necessary follow-on advanced developed activities leadi ng to FDA approval of the developmental end item. Production quantities will also be required. Proposals will be evaluated based on Factors, Subfactors, and Elements representing the Best Value to the Government. Delivery schedules will be proposed by the offerors and will be used as one of the evaluation criteria associated with a Best Value evaluation. Proposed delivery schedule calling for delivery of the approved FDA product within 5 to 8 years after contract award is anticipated, but all proposed d elivery schedules will be evaluated. All interested parties can view, download, and print a copy of the solicitation and any resulting amendments when released on or about 10 January 2007 at the SMDC website hyperlink: http://www.smdc.army.mil/contracts/c ontracts.html.
