- Type of Requirement Follow-on Contract No.: HHSN272201500029C Place of Performance Place of performance: Athens, GA Recompetition University of Georgia Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitolog College of Veterinary Athens, GA 30602 Contracting Office Address Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Office of Acquisitions, 5601 Fishers Lane, MSC 9821, Bethesda, MD, 20892-9821 Duration of contract: 5 Years Total. 12 Month base period If Options will be included, describe Options: Four, 12-month options Anticipated award date: 08/31/2017 Pre-solicitation Notice Information Introduction The Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases (LPD) conducts basic and applied research on the prevention, control, and treatment of a variety of parasitic and bacterial diseases of global importance. The work of the group is largely directed toward the identification of immunological and molecular targets for disease intervention. The pathogens studied include parasitic protozoa (Leishmania, Toxoplasma, Giardia, Plasmodium, Trypanosoma cruzi, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba) and helminths (Filariae, Schistosoma, Strongyloides, Taenia) as well as non-parasitic agents (e.g., mycobacteria). Much of this work is directed at uncovering basic aspects of the host-pathogen interaction in both humans and experimental animal models as well as in the invertebrate vectors that transmit medically important parasites. Description Parasitic worms are required for ongoing studies of immunity of humans to filariasis. Lymphatic filariasis is one of the eight major diseases targeted as Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD). To study the immune response to the parasite that causes lymphatatic filariasis as well as to develop an appropriate vaccine for the infection, large amounts of parasite materials are required for analysis and immunization experiments. To collect infective larvae, a membrane-feeding technique for infecting mosquitoes is used routinely. Use of this technique, allows for greater flexibility in choosing blood donors, results in more uniform infections in mosquitoes, and leads to higher yields of infective larvae. Thus, yields of infective larvae of these species can now be predicated with relative accuracy. Proposal Submission and Evaluation For this solicitation, the NIAID requires proposals to be submitted online via FedBizOpps. Submission of proposals by facsimile or e-mail is not acceptable. The solicitation will include mandatory qualification criteria that must be met at the time of submission of the offeror's proposal, as well as, page limitations. Offerors should familiarize themselves with all areas of the solicitation requirements to ensure compliance with these elements. Solicitations will be evaluated against Technical and Non-Technical factors including Technical, Management, Key Personnel Qualifications, Past Performance, and Cost. This is only a sample. Offerors should refer to the solicitation for specific Mandatory Requirements and Evaluation Criteria. Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year of 12 months and four (4) 12-month option years. The Period of Performance is as follows: Base Period 09/01/2017 to 08/31/2018 Option Period I 09/01/2018 to 08/31/2019 Option Period II 09/01/2019 to 08/31/2020 Option Period III 09/01/2020 to 08/31/2021 Option Period IV 09/01/2021 to 08/31/2022 Any responsible offeror may submit a proposal which will be considered by the Agency. This RFP will be available electronically on/about July 25, 2017 and may be accessed through FedBizOpps. This notice does not commit the Government to award a contract. No collect calls will be accepted. No facsimile transmissions will be accepted.
