THE NIAID WILL NOT AWARD A CONTRACT OR PAY FOR THE INFORMATION RECEIVED IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of qualified small business sources to perform the work described below; whether they are a small business; veteran-owned small business; service disabled veteran-owned small business; HUB Zone small business; small disadvantaged business; or woman-owned small business. Respondents must provide their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice. BACKGROUND The Office of Cyber Infrastructure and Computational Biology (OCICB) provides leadership and direction on effective strategies, policies, and standards for technology services, support for biomedical research programs, information technology resources, and customer support. These activities are crucial in supporting the expanding technology requirements of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). OCICB ensures that as NIAID strategic demands transform, infectious disease threats arise, and research priorities evolve, the necessary technology, infrastructure, and technical expertise is ready. OCICB strives to enhance institute capabilities in clinical informatics and bioinformatics, increase support for international research endeavors, improve management oversight and communications, and provide effective and reliable customer support. In 2014, the NIAID will move approximately 2,200 workers to a new 491,000 square foot building on Fishers lane in Rockville, Maryland under a lease signed by the U.S. General Services Administration. The new facility is slated to be in full service the last quarter of calendar year (CY) 2014. The move into Fishers Lane will be phased and as locations are vacated, the lease for the space will be released. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES As part of the relocation project, OCICB will require immediate assistance with providing and installing a complete and operational Audiovisual System(s) for the new facility in Rockville, MD. The operational turnkey system shall be seamlessly integrated to link over 200 room subsystems into one coordinated whole.
