- Description
- The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) will be soliciting proposals from qualified businesses (NAICS Code 541712) with capabilities to conduct a large national longitudinal cohort study and establish a regulatory-science framework to monitor the behavioral and health impacts of provisions in the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA). The FSPTCA gave the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to regulate tobacco-product advertising, labeling, marketing, constituents, ingredients and additives in the United States. These regulatory changes are expected to influence tobacco-product risk perceptions, use patterns, and exposures, and to reduce tobacco-related morbidity and mortality over time. The study initially will focus on designing the sample, establishing the cohort, collecting data on a yearly basis, developing a database, arranging a central specimen repository, and measuring and reporting on the near-term behavioral and health effects of the regulatory changes. NIDA anticipates that over time, the study will involve continued cohort monitoring, additional recruitment of young adults to the cohort at each wave, cross-sectional analyses within age groups and longitudinal data analysis, including analysis of distal outcomes, and small area estimation modeling. Results from this study are expected to inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of tobacco-product regulations in the United States (For detailed information on FSPTCA, see http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ031.111.pdf). The successful contractor must have the in-house capability and multi-disciplinary knowledge, expertise, and experience required to: • Plan and execute large national longitudinal behavioral health studies with sufficient power to detect immediate and long-term outcomes with small-to-moderate effect sizes in the entire sample and in designated subgroups; • Develop, field test, and implement sample designs, assessment instruments, and data-collection protocols; • Ascertain and maintain locator information for participant tracking, retention, and follow up; • Collect, store, package, and ship bio-specimens for laboratory analysis and preservation in a specimen repository; • Organize and convene meetings with subject-matter experts and advisors with expertise in, among others, epidemiology, natural history, and longitudinal cohort research, tobacco-related disease processes and clinical outcomes, and tobacco-product policies; • Collect and analyze economic, social, and geographic data to augment data collected from individuals on social contextual and other influences on individual behaviors; • Validate self-reported data on incident health outcomes with medical records-based information and through use of multiple causes of death data from the National Death Index, the National Social Security death files, or the Division of Vital Records of state health departments; and, • Develop small-area estimation models; and produce clean ready datasets and documentation for each data-collection wave and the entire cohort. Additionally, businesses must have the capabilities and experience required to develop and submit study materials for the collection of information from more than nine individuals to the Office of Management and Budget for timely review and approval. We anticipate the award of one cost reimbursement, non-severable, completion contract for a base period of one year plus four one year options. In addition to the options to extend the contract period, there are option tasks and quantities. NIDA anticipates substantial subcontracting opportunities under this project. RFP No. N01DA-11-5568 will be available electronically on or about April 5, 2011. You will access the RFP through the FedBizOpps (URL: http://www.fbo.gov) or through the NIDA website: (URL: http://www.nida.nih.gov/RFP/RFPList.html). All information required for the submission of a proposal is contained in or accessible through the RFP package. Responses are due to be received in NIDA's Contracting Office about 45 days after we release the RFP. NIDA will consider proposals submitted by any responsible offeror. This advertisement does not commit the Government to award a contract. Based upon market research, the Government is not using the policies contained in Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in its solicitation for the described supplies or services. However, interested persons may identify to the Contracting Officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice.
