THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Office of Acquisition (OA) on behalf of the National Human Genome Research Institute, (NHGRI), intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive sole source basis without providing for full and open competition to RuRo Inc. 321 Ballenger Center Drive, Suite 102, Frederick, Maryland 21703 to procure the following, (Brand Name: RuRo Inc.): THIS IS A FOLLOW-ON REQUIREMENT IT SECURITY PROVISIONS AND 508 COMPLIANCE LANGUAGE IS ALREADY OBTAINED FROM PREVIOUS CONTRACT. Procurement: 1. UDPics: Premium Support Service, Onsite -Liaison resource portion of service to be de- ployed onsite at UDP as needed to maximize service efficacy: Liaison "A" skillet: bioinformatics expertise, minor-moderate applicable scripting. Background: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) mission has expanded to encompass a broad range of studies aimed at understanding the structure and function of the human genome and its role in health and disease. The National Institutes of Health Undiagnosed Disease Program (UDP) is a trans-National Institute of Health (NIH) initiative that focuses on the most puzzling medical cases referred to the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. Many medical specialties from other NIH research centers and institutes contribute the expertise needed to conduct the program, including endocrinology, immunology, oncology, dermatology, dentistry, cardiology and genetics, among the dozens of participating senior attending physicians. A longstanding medical condition that eludes diagnosis by a referring physician can be considered undiagnosed and may be of interest to this clinical research program. The goals of the UDP include finding accurate diagnoses and discovering new diseases that provide insight into human physiology and genetics. The UDP was established to evaluate participants who have undiagnosed medical conditions. Purpose and Objective: The UDP program makes use of a diverse set of diagnostic and research techniques both to attempt to find a diagnosis and to generate research projects to advance medical knowledge. Ruro, Inc. has developed the enterprise-grade LIMS 24/7 web platform called UDPics that encompasses project, task and asset management; user role configurability; user-tailored report; extensive audit functionality and information security that is required by the UDP laboratory. This system has been designed to be the meeting place of laboratory software tools, laboratory hardware, and staff users, allowing previously impossible levels of secure data access, communication and process efficiency. A collaboration portal of the UDPics system has been designed for outside collaborators to add necessary experimental reports into the system for NIH UDP employees to access and incorporate into the experimental workflow of UDP patients to elucidate the cause of disease. Other Important Considerations: UDPics is a patient data system for NHGRI-Undiagnosed Diseases Program and requires constant upgrades, hosting and monitoring of the system. Ruro, Inc. has produced the LIMS 24/7 software platform that is designed for the simplification and greater efficiency of laboratory sample, data and process management. They have currently designed a specific LIMS 24/7 platform for the NIH UDP called UDPics. This system has created a method of combining all bioinformatics processes that are used in the Undiagnosed Diseases Program for laboratory and clinical personnel to work collaboratively and efficiently. The UDP requires further refinement of UDPics that requires Premium Support Service offered by Ruro, Inc. that includes a liaison designated for the UDP to perform refinement of UDPics and to rectify any problems that may appear in the system in a timely fashion. • UDPics Premium Onsite Support Service: o Liaison resource to be deployed onsite at UDP as needed to maximize service efficacy; o RuRo HQ service resources to be identified by liaison in a task by task basis; o Services driven by deadline/milestone agreement; o Priority assignment as needed to maximize efficacy; o Liaison must be offer RuRo support, bioinformatic expertise, and be capable of minor to moderate applicable scripting; and o RuRo support and engineering resource priority status will be managed by liaison. Place of Performance: The work will be performed at NHGRI Undiagnosed Diseases Program (UDPics Patient Data System) Deliverables: Report on analysis will be provided.
