- Description
- This is a Small Business Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources; (2) whether they are small businesses; HUBZone small businesses; service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses; 8(a) small businesses; veteran-owned small businesses; woman-owned small businesses; or small disadvantaged businesses; and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541611, Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services, and the size standard is $15,000,000. Background: The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP) supports science that seeks to identify those at increased risk for developing cancer, as well as to identify and develop chemopreventive and other interventions to delay, arrest or reverse carcinogenesis at its earliest stages. The Division of Cancer Prevention manages a diverse portfolio of scientific and clinical initiatives in order to identify and prioritize potential cancer prevention agents, and to move these promising agents from pre-clinical testing to Phase 0, Phase I and Phase II clinical trials, and ultimately into large Phase III cancer prevention clinical trials. These clinical trials are conducted by extramural investigators at national and international clinical sites, and are supported through a variety of federal funding mechanisms including grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts. The Protocol Information Office (PIO) currently supports several clinical trial contracts sponsored by the Division of Cancer Prevention at the National Cancer Institute. It is also anticipated to continue to support the re-competing Early Phase Chemoprevention Clinical Trials Consortia Program. The PIO has a requirement for administrative support services for the processing of clinical trial protocol documents and tracking the implementation and completion of human clinical research studies. The contract will relieve the administrative burden from the scientific staff by processing documents, abstracting key data elements into the DCP database; arranging study reviews; tracking review response; coordinating with clinical trial sites; tracking study timelines and manuscript completion, and coordinating trial information with other NCI projects. Purpose and Objectives: The National Cancer Institute, Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP) is seeking administrative support to provide the services required to perform the following tasks: • Project Area 1: Abstraction of key elements from protocol-related documents. • Project Area 2: File management of electronic files for all DCP clinical trials. • Project Area 3: Clinical trial review support, including support of clinical trial review meetings. • Project Area 4: Manage data relating to people, organizations, and their relationships in the DCP Clinical Trials Database system. • Project Area 5: Operational support to PIO, to include efforts to streamline or augment protocol procedures, Standard Operating Procedures, educational programs, contingency plans, reporting, and other operational support. Project Requirements: A copy of the draft Statement of Work (SOW) pertaining to this requirement, which is subject to revisions, is attached to this notice. Anticipated Period of Performance: The period of performance for this contract is anticipated to be 5 years (a base year, plus four option years). The anticipated start date is September 24, 2018. A single award is anticipated. Capability Statement/Information Sought: Respondents must be qualified and prepare a capability statement that speaks to all sections in the Statement of Work. The Capability Statement will be evaluated based on the information provided in relation to the Project Areas and the current capability and capacity to: 1) perform the work in the Project Area (s) in the attached Draft Statement of Work; 2) staff education, training, experience, expertise and knowledge; 3) prior completed projects and Government contracts of similar nature; 4) corporate experience and management capability.
