- Description
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), plans to procure on a sole source basis thyroid hormones and antibody assays on serum samples from the University of Chicago, Ahsan/CCEP Laboratory, 900 East 57th Street, Room 6240, Chicago, IL 60637, USA. This process will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisitions procedures as stated in FAR Part 13 13.106-1(b)(1) and is exempt for the requirements of FAR Part 6. The North American Industry Classification System code is 621511, and the business size standard is $30.0million. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. The Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) is a research program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Division is the world's most comprehensive cancer epidemiology research group. Its renowned epidemiologists, geneticists, and biostatisticians conduct population and multidisciplinary research to discover the genetic and environmental determinants of cancer and new approaches to cancer prevention. The Division's research impacts public health policy in the United States and around the world. A sole source to the University of Chicago is intended for this order; based on the fact this contractor is the only laboratory found that was able to run all thyroid hormones and antibody assays, which are specialty assays, in the same laboratory within NCI's restriction of a 0.5mL aliquot. The University of Chicago was able to perform the requested services using less serum than other labs which were queried. The University of Chicago is currently under contract to measure thyroid hormones and antibodies in 437 serum samples from the BEEA study. NCI is requesting measurement of an additional 333 serum samples and, for scientific comparability, it is critical that the laboratory measurements of these analytes be carried out in the same laboratory. T his is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, they may submit a statement of capabilities. All information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient detail to allow the NCI to determine if it can meet the above unique specifications described herein. An original and one copy of the capability statement must be received in the NCI Office of Acquisitions on or before 11:00 AM EST on, March 25, 2014. No electronic capability statements will be accepted (i.e. email or fax); an original and one copy must be sent to the NCI Office of Acquisitions at the address stated above. All questions must be in writing and can be faxed (240) 276-5401 or emailed to Gwennifer Epps, Contracting Officer at ge50d@nih.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to receive an award, contractors must have valid registration and certification in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and the Online Representations and Certifications Applications (ORCA), through sam.gov.
