- Contracting Office Address Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Office of Acquisitions, 6120 Executive Blvd. EPS Room 6074, Rockville, MD, 20852, UNITED STATES Description The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) plans to procure on a sole source basis data collection, review and dissemination services of cancer education materials specific to American Indian and Alaska Native communities for the Native Cancer Information Resource Center and Learning Exchange (C.I.R.C.L.E) from Mayo Clinic, 200 First St., SW, Rochester, MN 55905. The services herein are being procured 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 $7.0 million. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. Period of Performance shall be for twelve (12) months from date of award. Native C.I.R.C.L.E. (Cancer Information Resource Center and Learning Exchange) has been in operation as a national clearinghouse for cancer education materials specific to American Indian and Alaska Native communities for lay and professional use since September 1998. This resource center has become part of NCI's effort to disseminate the results of community-based research, including the culturally appropriate educational materials developed as part of the research endeavor. It is a collaborative effort with the Mayo Clinic and the NCI-supported Network for Cancer Control Research among American Indian and Alaska Native Cancer Populations, the oversight body for the Native CIRCLE, which has approval authority for materials included in the resource center to ensure that they are appropriate, relevant and evidence-based. Native CIRCLE provides NCI with dissemination services for materials produced in NCI-sponsored research. Information requested from the resource center has led to distribution of over 35,000 pieces of literature and videos each year for use in research and interventions in Native American communities. The center provides materials to over 30 conferences per year and also coordinates the meetings of the Network and the biennial national conferences on "Cancer in Indian Country." In addition, the Native CIRCLE has the most up to date bibliography on cancer affecting American Indians and Alaska Natives. The purpose of this contract is to obtain cancer control research and educational materials from researchers and educators working with American Indian and Alaska Native populations, schedule and facilitate their review by the Native CIRCLE advisory board, catalog approved materials and enter them into the Native CIRCLE database, answer requests from both researchers and communities seeking to use the materials, and keep a record of requests. The Mayo Clinic houses the Native CIRCLE which provides cancer-related materials to healthcare professionals and lay people involved in the education, care, and treatment of Native peoples. Mayo Clinic also provides support for the Network for Cancer Control Research among American Indian and Alaska Native Populations, the oversight body for the Native CIRCLE. The Network's connection to Native American researchers and tribal organizations provides a unique opportunity to accomplish outreach among Native communities. Native CIRCLE at Mayo Clinic is the only place that has this centralized process for research among Native Americans. With its vast database of research-tested materials, and knowledge of the operation and content of the Native CIRCLE, the Mayo Clinic is uniquely qualified to provide the data collection, review and dissemination services associated with the cancer education materials received from researchers and educators working with the American Indian and Alaska Native communities.
