- This is a SMALL BUSINESS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE to determine the availability of small businesses (e.g., 8(a), veteran-owned small businesses, services-disabled veteran owned small businesses, HUB Zone small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, and women-owned small businesses) having in-house capability to develop methodologies and to perform in vivo rodent behavioral pharmacology for other drug dependence disorders, using drug self-administration reinstatement models. The objectives of this contract are to determine the in vivo efficacy of novel compounds in animal models of relapse. This includes the following tests in animals trained to self-administer cocaine; (1) the ability of a test compound to block footshock- or other stressor-induced reinstatement of responding after a period of experimental extinction, (2) the ability of a test compound to block cocaine-priming-induced reinstatement of responding after a period of extinction, and (3) the ability of a test compound to block the effects of a conditioned cue (previously paired with cocaine) to reinstate responding for cocaine after a period of extinction. Due to the nature of the compounds which will be evaluated under this contract, it is mandatory that offerors possess a DEA Research Registration for Schedules II to V in order to handle substances under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. In addition, the successful offeror must either possess, or demonstrate the ability to obtain a DEA registration for Schedule I controlled substances. Information sent should be relevant and specific in the technical area under consideration, on each of the following qualifications: (1) extensive experience and competence in the field of drug abuse; (2) scientific experience conducting rodent behavioral pharmacology studies; and (3) demonstrated compliance with NIH guidelines on the care and use of laboratory animals. Interested organizations must demonstrate and document, in any capability statements submitted, extensive experience with and the ability to perform the above tasks. Organizations should demonstrate capability to administer and coordinate interrelated tasks in an effective and timely manner. Documentation may include, but not be limited to, contracts both Government and commercial the organization performed, references, i.e., names, titles, telephone numbers and any other information serving to document the organizations capability, e.g., awards, commendations, etc. This notice is for information and planning purposes only and does not commit the Government to any contractual agreement. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. The Government does not intend to award a contract based on responses under this announcement nor otherwise pay for preparing any information sent for the Government's use. Any proprietary information should be so marked. Interested organizations presenting a capability statement must provide the following: 1) company name and address; 2) point of contact, 3) phone/fax/email; 4) NAICS Codes, 5) business size and status, and 6) capability information in response to the requirement; and 6) type of small business your organization classifies itself as.
