- Description
- This is a notice of intent by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to contract with Risk Sciences International, Inc. (RSI), 325 Dalhousie Street, 10th Floor Ottawa, ON K1N 7G2; on a sole source basis to provide upgrade features and functions to the institutional and public version of FDA-iRISK (referred to as iRISK model upgrades) and, as appropriate, expand the library of food-hazard risk scenarios for FDA-regulated products (referred to as expanding iRISK library). FDA awarded a 3-yr contract to RSI (2009-2011) to operationalize a risk ranking prototype into a series of quantitative risk assessment model elements. The upgraded FDA-iRISK shall maintain the model structures in FDA-iRISK 1.0 (https://irisk.foodrisk.org/) and shall be compatible with other features in iRISK BETA including linkage to external modules. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1 the Government is contemplating an award on a sole source basis for the following reasons: a) RSI is the sole organization that has the proprietary codes to operationalize equations and functions underling the FDA-iRISK model structure into a web-based tool. b) RSI is uniquely qualified in technical capacities to conduct future work for FDA-iRISK because of their demonstrated expertise in two previous contracts. The NAICS code is 541519. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes; no solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be accepted. However, sources may submit descriptive literature, fully documenting their capability to perform these services, which will be considered by the Agency. A determination to compete this procurement based on response(s) to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. A solicitation will be issued to Waters Corporation no less than 15 calendar days after the date of this notice unless the Government determines otherwise. All written inquiries must be submitted to Tiffany Williamson, Contract Specialist, via email at tiffany.williamson@fda.hhs.gov, no later than 5:00PM Eastern Time (ET), Tuesday, August 13, 2013.
