This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures as stated in FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1). The North American Industry Classification System code is 334516 and the business size standard is 500 employees. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. The Period of Performance is: Base Option: 8/1/2015- 7/31/2016 Option Period 1: 8/1/2016-7/31/2017 It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. IARC houses all 60,000 urine samples from the Golestan Cohort Study. This is the only repository of Golestan Cohort Study urine, and the Golestan Cohort Study is the only prospective cohort in the world with the questionnaire data, biospecimens and follow-up data that NEB needs to examine the association of exposure to tobacco product constituents (volatile organic compounds (VOCs), tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)) and disease risk in such a large group of people habitually exposed to hookah and nass smokeless tobacco in addition to cigarettes. NEB has worked extensively and published widely using the data and biospecimens from the Golestan Cohort during the last number of years and to ensure consistency with prior protocols NEB is requesting to perform this current analysis of tobacco biomarkers in the same cohort. Thus, the data NEB can obtain from this urine is unique, and this urine from the Golestan Cohort Study cannot be obtained from any other source. This information will inform not only the DCEG Tobacco Group but also the FDA Tobacco Regulatory Group and the CDC. Thus, this information has the potential to benefit the government by contributing significantly to the body of evidence determining public health policy related to tobacco products. The objective of this procurement is to obtain 40,000 x 4ml urine specimens (and corresponding sample manifest data) collected as part of the Golestan Cohort Study from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Lyon, France for the Base Period.
