- Title: Assessing the Seroprevalence and Genetic Diversity of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) and Hantaviruses in Georgia Solicitation: W81XWH-17-T-0016 Notice Type: Request for Information (RFI) Response Date: 10 November 2016 NAICS: 541- Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 541712-Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology) Scope : The Government requires support to successfully implement diagnostic methods to accurately measure the seroprevalence of CCHFV and HFRS in Georgia. In addition, active environmental surveillance studies will be conducted to provide a baseline for the potential emergence of disease caused by CCHFV or hantavirus infections. Viruses present in rodent and tick samples will be genetically and antigenically characterized by gene sequencing and live virus neutralization assays and if possible, virus isolations will be attempted. A DNA database of tick barcodes will be established to facilitate future tick-borne disease studies. Objectives: The objective is to assess the seroprevalence and genetic diversity of highly pathogenic bunyaviruses circulating in Georgia to include Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) and hantaviruses causing hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). RFI INSTRUCTIONS: Interested parties are asked to respond to this RFI and submit a capabilities statement that supports the focus of this RFI. Please review the place of performance requirements. Please submit written responses via email in Microsoft Office 2000 or 2007 format. All responses should be complete: in 12-point font; and not to exceed 5 pages total, including graphics, tables, and appendices. No hardcopies shall be accepted. No written solicitation document is available at this time. Telephone requests will not be honored, and no bidders list shall be maintained. No inquiries regarding any potential future acquisition activities shall be entertained. There is proprietary information involved in this requirement which may preclude some established clinical trial centers from competing on this requirement, although no decisions have been finalized at this time. Potential offerors are requested to direct all questions via email to the Point of Contact listed below. Responses are due to the Point of Contact, Ms. Flodean Billings at email: flodean.p.billings.civ@mail.mil no later than 9:00AM EST, Thursday, November 10 2016 CAUTION: This is an active requirement.
