- Description
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD), Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) plans to procure on a sole source an IRB Manager license, hosting, maintenance and support from BEC Acquisition, 270 Spagnoli Road, Melville, NY 11747, US. The purpose of this acquisition is to purchase a 12 month license and support base period and two option periods of the IRB Manager Software. This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures as stated in FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1) and is exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6. 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 with two option periods. It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. The NCI Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) administers the NCI Clinical Trials Network and Early Therapeutic Clinical Trials Network programs for the performance of cancer treatment and prevention trials. The NCI Clinical Trials Network is comprised of four adult clinical trial organizations and one pediatric organization. The Early Therapeutic Clinical Trials Network is comprised of investigators who conduct clinical trials funded by grant mechanisms. The NCI Central Institutional Review Board (CIRB) reviews NCI-sponsored studies selected by CTEP for human subjects' protections. Site Membership and participation in the CIRB is initiated, tracked and maintained via IRBManager©, a BEC Acquisition IRB support tool. The tool assists the CIRB in assuring that regulatory and human subjects protection requirements are met. IRB Manager is a software product utilized by the Central Institutional Review Board (CIRB) to capture and track site participation in the initiative to meet regulatory and human subject protection requirements. IRB Manager has been tailored to the unique needs of the NCI CIRB and has been integrated with other NCI systems. The CIRB has been accredited by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP). AAHRPP accreditation of the NCI CIRB was based in part on the use of best practices and systems including a customized and integrated version of IRB Manager. BEC Acquisition is the original manufacturer for the IRB manager software and is the sole source for proprietary upgrades and updates required for this program. BEC Acquisition is the only known provider to the NCI that can fully meet all aspects of this requirement. This notice is not a request for competitive quotation. However, if any interested party, especially small businesses, believes it can meet the above requirement, it may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. The statement of capabilities and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NCI to determine if the party can perform the requirement. Responses must be received in the contracting office by 5:00 PM EST, on December 7, 2015. All responses and questions must be in writing and faxed 240-276-5401 or emailed to Kimesha Leake, Contract Specialist OR via electronic mail at kimesha.leake@nih.gov.
