- General Information Short Title: Liver-Assist Device From Organ Assist Document Type: Presolicitation Notice Solicitation Number: N02RC72603-36 Posted Date: 7/12/2017 Response Date: 7/17/2017 Classification Code: 65 - Medical and Surgical Instruments Equipment and Supplies NAICS Code: 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing Contracting Office Address Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Office of Acquisitions, 9609 Medical Center Drive, Room 1E232 Bethesda, MD 20892, UNITED STATES Description The purpose of this requisition is to obtain a Liver Assist Device from Organ Assist. We intend to satisfy all the requirements of an ideal tumor model system by utilizing resected segments of tumor-containing liver and repurposing the Liver-Assist perfusion device for prolonged ex-vivo animation. 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 1000 employees. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. The proposed model system recapitulates the complexities of a human tumor, supported by native stroma with preserved architectural relationships, surrounded by normal tissue under near-physiologic conditions. Consequently, real-time tumor responses can be measured by serial biopsies during various drug delivery interventions which would allow development of rational novel drug combinations and/or use of sequential drugs. Moreover, the perfusate is amenable to continuous sampling such that biomarker discovery will be greatly facilitated, with correlations actually relatable to real-time tumor biopsies. Additionally, drug metabolism and tumor penetration can be easily measured, and effects on stroma can be directly assessed. We can envision a fundamental alteration in drug development such that efficacy is evaluated first, rather than last, with subsequent efforts focused on delivery techniques and minimization of toxicity. Contractor Requirements are to provide: Device Training and Installation The Contractor shall teach and trouble-shoot machine perfusion, including hands on training sessions with staff. The contractor shall be available by phone in case support is required anytime after purchase. 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 12:00 PM EST, on July 17, 2017. All responses and questions must be in writing and faxed 240-276-5401 or emailed to David Romley, Contract Specialist OR via electronic mail at david.romley@nih.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No collect calls will be accepted. In order to receive an award, contractors must be registered and have valid certification in the System for Award Management (SAM) through sam.gov. Reference: N02RC72603-36 on all correspondence.
