Description

Combined Synopsis/Solicitation INTRODUCTION: This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (CSS) for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This acquisition is being conducted in accordance with procedures of FAR Part 13 - Commercial Items. The period of performance for the resultant contract will be five years from the date of award and will be an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The solicitation number is HHS-NIH-NIDA(SSSA)-CSS-14-530 and the solicitation is issued as a Request For Quotation (RFQ). NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE: The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 621511 with a Size Standard of $30.0M. ACQUISITION AUTHORITY: This acquisition is for commercial services and is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation and FAR Part 12 and is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-76, dated July 15, 2014. The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through this date. BACKGROUND The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Neurobiobank, comprised of 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), recently solicited proposals for Brain and Tissue Repositories. These Brain and Tissue Repositories (BTRs) are federated through a web-based Portal to increase coordination and sharing of valuable resources. The NIH Neurobiobank seeks to make well-characterized human brain tissue and biospecimen samples more widely available for research on neurological, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders. One area of this program that could be centralized resulting in cost savings, greater standardization, and decreased variability, was toxicology testing of donor samples acquired through Neurobiobank BTRs screened under a single toxicology testing contract. The NIH Neurobiobank is seeking a laboratory testing and analysis facility that can provide validated, high quality toxicology testing services. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is to provide testing for abused, illicit and therapeutic drugs in blood, brain, urine, and hair samples. The period of performance is five years from date of award. These assays will include screens for multiple drug classes/types (Appendix B). The majority of agents to be tested under this program will be drugs of abuse or psychotropic drugs. The Contractor may be required to do a combination of assays on a given tissue, or assess a particular drug in several tissue types (e.g. blood, brain, urine and hair) according to the needs of investigators requesting services and NIH Neurobiobank programmatic priorities. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION, HHS-NIH-NIDA(SSSA)-14-530 FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING THIS REQUIREMENT
