- Description
- This is a Pre-solicitation Notice in advance of the Request for Proposal (RFP), and the Government is not committed to award a contract pursuant to this announcement. The RFP, HHS-NIH-NIDA(MH)-13-273, detailing the specifics of the project as well as information pertinent to the development of an Offeror's proposal will be available electronically on or about December 10, 2013 and may be accessed through the Internet at the Federal Business Opportunities website at: http://www.fedbizopps.gov. No paper copies will be available. Offerors are responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments and for routinely checking the Internet site for any possible solicitation amendments that may be issued by the Government. Proposals will be due on or about January 28, 2014. It is anticipated that one or more cost-reimbursement contracts award will be made for a period of seven (one base year plus six one-year options) years beginning on or about July 31, 2014. This is a Research and Development initiative. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), and the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (NINDS), National Institutes of Health, seek to make human brain tissue and biospecimen samples more widely available for research on neurological, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders. The objective of this initiative is to increase availability of human disease and control biospecimens, increase proactive involvement of the disease advocacy and patient communities, and more efficiently acquire, curate, store, and distribute these tissues with the ultimate goal of reducing the burden of nervous system disorders. In order to do so, the NIH intends to establish multiple contract collection sites (i.e., the NIH Brain and Tissue Repositories (NBTR)) to provide services that will actively acquire, receive, process, store, curate, preserve, and distribute central nervous system and related biological specimens (including fetal tissues) to qualified investigators. These services were previously provided through grants that have expired and/or will be expiring in the coming year. The NIH will now continue these existing services through competitively awarded contracts. New sources are also encouraged to compete. The NIH now funds these services through competitively awarded contracts. This is the second solicitation of the Neurobiobank and builds on Requests for Proposals issued in FY 2013 for contract awards in FY2013. All qualified organizations are encouraged to respond with a proposal. The original small business sources sought synopsis for this initiative (HHS-NIH- NIMH-SBSS-13-273 was posted on June 20, 2013. Contact Marla Jacobson, Contract Specialist in writing at jacobsonmj@mail.nih.gov for further information.
