- Description
- The United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) has a requirement for the following: The Chief of Staff of the Army and the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) has tasked the United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) to direct a medical research program. As a function of this process, the Headquarters, USAMRMC receives scientific proposals, progress reports, and similar intramural documents from the Command's research laboratories and extramurally from the academic and scientific research community. Each of these documents is reviewed for program relevance and, where appropriate, for scientific merit. Peer review, a process of self-regulation involving evaluation by qualified individuals within the relevant field, is the mechanism used by the command to execute these reviews. Extramural areas of research interest are summarized in the current USAMRMC Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) and in Program Announcements (PA). Program Announcements will result in full proposals, and either pre-proposals or Letters of Intent (LOI). While peer review within the USAMRMC is not governed by statute or DoD, Army, or USAMRMC policy or regulation, the requirements for the USAMRMC peer review program parallels many of the requirements detailed in 42 CFR, Part 52h, Scientific Peer Review of Research Grant Applications and Research and Development Contract Projects. In addition, this command is tasked with on-going active management of research. Periodic scientific and programmatic peer review of on-going research (performance reviews) is also required. This is a non-personal services contract to provide scientific program and peer review support services to support the United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC). These support services cover the full range of scientific program and peer review support. This contracting effort will provide an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) type contract, with four option years. Task Orders will be firm fixed priced. Functions to be performed under this IDIQ include but are not limited to the following: Administrative management of Broad Agency Announcement and select Program Announcements. Administrative management of extramural Letters of Intent (LOI), pre-proposals, and full proposals for research and medical research related conferences. Scientific Peer Reviews of research proposals: Mail reviews Panel reviews Scientific Performance or Program Peer Review for on-going research. Other special scientific and/or programmatic reviews. Scientific Consulting Services. Electronic management of data and files. The competitive solicitation, solicitation amendments and all questions and answers relating to this procurement shall be made available via the Internet at https://acquisition.army.mil/asfi/ and https://www.fedbizopps.gov. The solicitation is anticipated for release to the vendor community on or about, November 11, 2013. Potential offerors are responsible for accessing the website.
