- Description
- This is a notice of intent, not a request for a proposal. A solicitation document will not be issued and proposals will not be requested. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Office of Acquisitions - Neurosciences, Station Support/Simplified Acquisitions branch on behalf of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Office of Translational Research, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Graham Johnson, located at 3 Lakeside Dr; Sanbornton, NH 03269, for the modification of an existing purchase order to add additional hours of consulting services. In 2010, the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research established a new model for drug development - a network that integrates industry drug development expertise with the innovative disease biology of NIH-funded research. This created the Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network (BPN) at NINDS. The BPN launched multiple projects in 2011 with senior-level, industry-experienced drug development consultants who help to develop promising new drug compounds at the NIH. The consulting individuals or companies that were awarded Purchase Orders are required to design and direct the drug development plan on BPN projects with NIH Principal Investigators. In addition, work requirements include possibly being required to provide guidance on other NIH neuroscience-focused drug development programs. Graham Johnson is a drug development consultant who was issued a Purchase Order to provide expert guidance on NIH Blueprint projects involved in the medicinal chemistry field. On July 25, 2011, a Purchase Order was awarded to Johnson, Graham for one (1) base year and four (4) one-year optional periods (PO#HHSN271201100499P). There is a need for additional services due to the increase of guidance required by the consultant in BPN projects and other NIH programs focused on medicinal chemistry. These additional hours include profiling medicinal chemistry issues on all BPN-funded projects and continuing to serve as co-chairperson on a Lead Development Team (LDT). In the current period of performance an additional 300 hours will be required for consulting services, with an option to exercise five (5) additional 100-hour optional quantities. In the next option year period of performance, an additional 200 hours will be added to the base amount, with an option to exercise five (5) additional 200-hour optional quantities. In the following option year period of performance, an additional 400 hours will be added to the base amount, with an option to exercise five (5) additional 200-hour optional quantities. This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 12, in conjunction with the policies and procedures for solicitation, evaluation, and award prescribed in Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and is exempt from the competition requirements of Part 6. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Comments to this announcement, referencing this synopsis number, may be submitted to the NIDA SS/SA Branch, prior to the closing date specified in this announcement, electronically to the attention of Hunter A. Tjugum, at tjugumha@mail.nih.gov.
