- Description
- The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) plans to procure on a sole source basis, strategic plan assistance involving other directs costs for the modification of an existing contract that supports the NCCAM Strategic Plan. The current award was made under GSA contract: to The Hill Group, 6903 Rickledge Drive, Suite 540; Bethesda, Maryland 20817. The supplies and services herein are being procured in accordance with the simplified acquisition procedures authorized by FAR Part 13.106-1 (b)(1). The North American Industry Classification System Code is 541990 and the business size standard is $7M. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. Period of performance shall be at award through 12 months with a one year option. This will be an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Firm Fixed Price (FFP) award. The purpose of this requirement is for NCCAM to continually sponsor and conduct research nationally and internationally, using state-of-the-art scientific methods and technologies, support activities which continue to the advancement of CAM research capacity, and provide evidence-based information on the benefits and risks of CAM practices and interventions to the public and to health care providers. This Hill Group has expertise in consulting and meeting/logistical management and is currently performing services under an award issued against The Hill Group GSA contract. The strategic plan assistance which involves other direct costs does not fall within The Hill Group’s GSA contract therefore a modification is required to add the strategic source assistance. In addition, Hill Group’s staff is needed to attend the face to face meetings and participate on the teleconference calls as instructed in the current award. It would be logistically difficult to comingle the responsibilities. Moreover, The Hill Group is positioned to fulfill this requirement seamlessly and without added time or effort as they alone are involved with events that take place as progress is made on the main contract. This notice is not a request for competitive quotation. However, if any interested party believes it can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NCI to determine if the party can perform the requirement. Contractor shall provide one (1) original and one (1) copy of the capability statement. Capability statements must be received in the contracting office by 11:00 AM ET September 17 2009. All questions must be in writing and can be faxed or emailed to the following: Malinda Holdcraft, Contract Specialist via electronic mail at holdcram@exchange.nih.gov or fax 301-402-4513. It is the contractors’ responsibility to ensure all questions have been received in the contracting office. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No collect calls will be accepted. No faxed or emailed capability statements will be accepted. In order to receive an award, contractors must be registered and have valid certifications in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and the Online Representations and Certification Application (ORCA).
