Responses must include the place of manufacturing (i.e. address if supply/equipment is a domestic end product and include country of manufacture). Small businesses must also address the size status of the manufacturer under the applicable NAICS code (i.e. address Non-Manufacturer Rule). Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible.

Background:� The Division of Pre-Clinical Innovation (DPI) within the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will be performing pre-clinical evaluation of a sufficient quantity of novel anticancer agent ZJ-101 and its related analogs. NCATS needs a contractor to provide the service of synthesizing 30 g of compound B, a key building block that will be used for the synthesis of ZJ-1 and its related analogs.� � Purpose and Objectives: The purpose is to synthesize 30 g of compound B, a key synthetic building block that will be used for the synthesis of novel anticancer agent ZJ-101 and its related analogs. Project requirements: To generate Compound B, the contractor shall follow the synthetic procedures of Scheme 4 in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 53, 1 summarized in the synthetic scheme shown in attachment 1. The Contractor shall deliver 30 g of compound B within 14 weeks plus full compound characterization including 1H NMR, LC-MS, HPLC and optical rotation to NCATS, 9800 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD. The Contractor shall provide NCATS weekly reports on the progress of the synthesis including the amount of materials at each synthetic step and characterization of each synthetic intermediates including 1H NMR, LC-MS, HPLC and optical rotation.
