Description The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch (OEEB), plans to procure on a sole source basis services for review of etiologic factors for prostate cancer progression in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial with: Georgetown University Office of Sponsored Research 3300 Whitehaven Street NW Harris Building Suite 1100 Washington, DC 20007 Henry Ford Health System One Ford Place Detroit, MI 48209 The University of Pittsburgh 4C, UPMC Cancer Pavilion 5150 Centre Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15232 The Regents of the University of Colorado PLCO Cancer Screening Trial, University of Colorado Denver, 13001 E 17th Place, Room N6203L, Aurora, CO 80045 Marshfield Clinic Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation 1R3 1000 N Oak Avenue Marshfield, WI 54449 This acquisition will be processed in accordance with the simplified acquisition procedures as authorized by FAR Part 13.106-1 (b)(1). The North American Industry Classification System code is 541990 and the business size standard is $7 Million. NCI expects to make multiple sole source firm fixed price awards as a result of this solicitation. Period of performance shall be for twelve months from date of award with one twelve month option period. Contractor Requirements: Contractor must be one of 10 screening centers participating in the PLCO Trial. Each of these centers has obtained IRB approval to contact and actively follow PLCO participants in their area over the course of the PLCO Trial. The Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial, sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, is a multicenter randomized trial that is evaluating the effectiveness of prostate, lung, colorectal, and ovarian cancer screening modalities on disease-specific mortality. To date, over 7500 men have been diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer while participating in the PLCO trial. On average, between 15-35% of men with early stage disease will experience a biochemical recurrence (elevation in PSA) after receiving initial treatment for their prostate cancer. The additional data collection requested will develop a PLCO resource that can facilitate the identification of the most relevant etiologic factors associated with prostate cancer recurrence and progression. The purpose of these procurements is to obtain additional clinical and treatment information from men diagnosed with clinically localized prostate cancer in PLCO. Information will be collected by telephone interview with the male subject, or a proxy if necessary, and any self-reported recurrence, metastasis, or secondary treatment will be validated with medical records. Each institute has the following required participants: Henry Ford Health System - 332 men The Regents of the University of Colorado - 554 men Georgetown University - 409 men University of Pittsburgh - 637 men Marshfield Clinic - 757 men During the option year the contractor shall request tissue samples from the contractor for those men who had a prostatectomy, have signed the necessary PLCO consent forms, have not already had their tissue collected by PLCO previously, and reported recurrence, metastasis, or any secondary treatment in the telephone interview. All samples will be sent to a lab designated by NCI. Each institute will provide the following number of tissue samples: Henry Ford Health System - 25 samples The Regents of the University of Colorado - 30 samples Georgetown University - 30 samples University of Pittsburgh - 38 samples Marshfield Clinic - 30 samples This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, they may submit a statement of capabilities. All information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient detail to allow the NCI to determine if it can meet the above unique specifications described herein. An original and one copy of the capability statement must be received in the NCI Office of Acquisitions on or before 11:00 AM EST on September 6, 2010. No electronic capability statements will be accepted (i.e. email or fax). An original and one copy must be sent to the NCI Office of Acquisitions at the address stated above. All questions must be in writing and may be faxed (301) 402-4513 or emailed to Terry Galloway, Contract Specialist at gallowaytl@mail.nih.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
