- Description
- Cancer Mortality Statement of Work The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center (JSC) is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SD-VOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for Projection of US Cancer Mortality and Incidence Rates in the late 2040s to early 2050s. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto. The JSC requirements include the following: Projection of US Cancer Mortality and Incidence Rates in the late 2040s to early 2050s Background: For a planned Mars mission beginning in 2033, crew would return home around 2036 and face an increased lifetime risk of radiation exposure-induced death from cancer with a latency period on the order of 3 - 5 to 15 years or approximately between years 2040 to 2050. Additional missions are anticipated over the following 20 year period with the potential for late crew health risks from flights toward the end of the Mars campaign being of concern beyond the 2050s to 2070s. The current NASA lifetime risk of cancer estimate depends on several elements: (1) the radiation dose-response described by ERR and EAR models (from the Japanese Atomic Bomb LSS cohort), (2) the baseline rates of cancer incidence1 and mortality2 in the US population and, (3) a survival function calculated from US Life Tables3. Presumably, significant medical advances have the potential to impact both a reduction in baseline cancer rates as well as an increase in the survivability of the population. A reduction in baseline rates alone will lower lifetime risk, while an increase in survival will result in larger lifetime risk. Both must be considered in the current NASA risk modeling approach. (See attached Statement of Work for further details) The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541712, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology) with a size standard of 1000 employees. Estimated award date for this contract is May 2017. Estimated award amount is $100,000 to $200,000. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offeror's responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. Interested offerors/vendors having the required specialized capabilities to meet the above requirement should submit a capability statement of 10 pages or less indicating the ability to perform all aspects of the effort described in the attached Statement of Work. Responses must include the following: name and address of firm, size of business; average annual revenue for past 3 years and number of employees; ownership; whether they are large, small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), Woman-owned, Veteran Owned, Service Disabled Veteran Owned, Historically Underutilized Business Zone and Historically Black Colleges and Universities)/Minority Institutions; number of years in business; affiliate information: parent company, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, prime contractor (if potential sub) or subcontractors (if potential prime); list of customers covering the past three years (highlight relevant work performed, contract numbers, contract type, dollar value of each procurement; and point of contact - address and phone number). This Requirement is considered to be a commercial item as defined in FAR 2.101. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. All responses and questions shall be submitted to Vance Benton at vance.benton@nasa.gov no later than May 08, 2017, 3:00PM Central Time. Please reference NNJ17ZBH005L in any response.
