- INTRODUCTION: THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NON-COMPETITIVE (NOTICE OF INTENT) SYNOPSIS TO AWARD A PURCHASE ORDER WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME). The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), Office of Acquisitions (OA), intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a sole source noncompetitive basis to Gary Melvin, 1902 Munger Farm Road, Poolesville, MD, 20837-2174, to provide machine shop manager services to the Laboratory of Molecule Biophysics. PROCUREMENT: The contractor will provide machine shop manager services to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's Laboratory of Molecule Biophysics. BACKGROUND: The mission of the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research (DIR) is to perform robust scientific and clinical research leading to a better understanding of biology and clinical pathology. To attain this goal, we have built a strong basic science foundation and coupled it closely with innovative technology development and outstanding clinical research both at the NIH Clinical Center and in partnership with local hospitals. The purview of our research is broad, encompassing investigations into the basic principles of molecular, cellular, and organ-level biology and their relationship to disease. Some current areas of fundamental interest include single molecule structure; protein assembly; molecular and cell biology; cell signaling and motility; membrane trafficking; physiology; systems biology; engineering and technology development. Insights into disease mechanisms derived from basic studies form the basis for translational research into new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. DIR investigators also conduct concept-based clinical studies in the areas of interventional and surgical cardiology; pulmonary medicine; sickle cell anemia; bone marrow transplant; and hematologic disorders. The Center for Population Studies located in Framingham Massachusetts and associated with the Framingham Heart Study focuses on Epidemiology of cardiovascular disease. Providing state-of-the-art training in basic, translational, and clinical research for the next generation of scientific and clinical leaders is a high priority. This program provides opportunities for scientists and trainees to work together towards a better understanding of molecular machines, the cell, the body, and ultimately the treatment of human diseases. The Laboratory of Single Molecular Biophysics requires the services of a machine shop manager to continue its research efficiently and effectively. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE: The contractor will provide machine shop manager services to the Laboratory of Molecule Biophysics. CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS: The contractor will have several duties related to the maintenance and safe operation of the machine shop. These duties include: • Routine maintenance of metalworking machines (drill­ press, mill, lathe, band saw and associated tooling); • Requesting and overseeing service and major repairs of equipment as needed; • Maintaining the hand and power tools and replacing them when needed; • Training users in the proper and safe use of the metalworking machines; • Writing, maintaining and enforcing standard operating procedures for the machine shop equipment cleaning and maintaining work area; • Providing advice and consultation for users of the facility including CAD, CNC and PLC programming, and performing machining for users.
