- Description
- THE DUE DATE FOR SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS IS JUNE 08, 2007. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) supports research related to the basic understanding of microbiology and immunology leading to the development of vaccines, therapeutics, and medical diagnostics for the prevention, treatment, and diagnosis of infectious diseases. The NIAID is seeking qualified organizations that are capable of managing and have the capacity to provide the scientific, technical and operational support to NIAID HIV and AIDS research activities, particularly clinical research, conducted through grants and contracts. The NIAID is currently supporting approximately 400 trials related to HIV and AIDS in various stages. These trials range from 10 to 6000 participants and are conducted in 46 countries. Approximately 22 of the 46 countries are resource limited. The Contractor may be asked to provide assistance, and assessment, or consultation related to any of the NIAID HIV AIDS funded clinical studies and be aware that NIAID sponsors multiple large, international trials at the same time. The resultant contract is intended to augment the capacity of services provided by existing research support contracts to provide flexibility and scalability. Performance will involve daily interaction between the Contractor and NIAID staff for activities that require continuity, a high degree of collaborative problem solving, and time sensitive decision making. Contractor expertise and support shall be provided in the following major areas: Clinical Research Support, Program Research and Operations Support, Communications Support, Conflict of Interest Mitigation, Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality, and Project Management. Proposals will be evaluated to determine that offerors have: 1) Demonstrated experience with contracts of similar size and scope to this proposed effort. Contract projects listed may include those entered into by the US Federal Government, agencies of state or local governments, for-profit and non-profit entities; 2) Proposed key personnel that demonstrate that your organization has the necessary expertise to perform the requirements of the project; 3) Sufficient corporate qualifications needed to perform the requirements of the project; 4) Close physical proximity of the Contractor?s main or satellite office and/or plans to ensure that this interaction can be successfully accomplished in a cost-effective and timely manner; 5) A satisfactory strategy to be used to mitigate individual and institutional conflicts of interest, disclosure and confidentiality concerns; and 6) Demonstrated capability to rapidly identify and recruit personnel, administer and coordinate interrelated tasks and familiarity with national and international regulations and requirements related to clinical trials. It is anticipated that one (1) cost reimbursement, term type contract will be awarded for a period of two (2) years beginning on or about December 1, 2007 with options to extend the period of the contract up to five (5) additional years. It is estimated that seventy-seven (77) full time equivalents (FTE) will be required on a yearly basis. Options will also be included to increase the level of effort in any year in increments of ten (10) FTE. The maximum expansion would be eight (8) increments of ten (10) FTE for a total of 157 FTE. Any responsible offeror may submit a proposal which will be considered by the Agency. This RFP will be available electronically on/about March 20, 2007, and may be accessed through the NIAID Office of Acquisitions (OA) Home Page at http://www.niaid.nih.gov/contract and through the FedBizOpps http://www.fedbizopps.gov/.
