This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This acquisition is being conducted in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 13--Simplified Acquisition Procedures and FAR Part 12--Acquisition of Commercial Items. The solicitation number is HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-CSS-17-460 and the solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 334220 with a Size Standard of 1,250 employees. SET-ASIDE STATUS This acquisition is unrestricted and available for full and open competition. ACQUISITION AUTHORITY This acquisition is for a commercial item or service and is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures and FAR Part 12-Acquisition of Commercial Items, and IS NOT expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-95, dated January 19, 2017. The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through this date. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT Background The NINDS Neuroimmunological Diseases Unit (NDU) works to gain understanding of the mechanisms that participate in central nervous system injury and mechanisms that promote neuroprotections and repair in order to develop effective therapies for human neuroimmunological diseases. The drug development for complex chronic neurological diseases (exemplified by progressive multiple sclerosis [MS]) is limited by current inability to measure with high sensitivity and specificity loss of neurological functions caused by damage to brain and spinal cord. Using machine learning we have recently systematically evaluated performance of physician-acquired clinical scales and simplified timed-measurements of certain neurological functions and combined the best performing measures to a novel combinatorial clinical scale that outperforms even the most sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of MS disease progression in independent validation cohorts. The goal of this project is to further enhance the sensitivity of such combinatorial clinical scale(s) by shifting collection of simplified, clinically validated measurements of specific neurological functions from episodic collections in the clinic to much denser measurements at patient's homes using smartphone/wearables technologies. Purpose The purpose of this acquisition is to acquire 25 Google Pixel XL cellular phones for an approved clinical trial that enhances sensitivity of combinatorial clinical outcomes for progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) by incorporating naturalistic granular data collected by smartphone technologies.
