- Description
- The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), Division of Intramural Research (DIR), Office of The Clinical Director (OCD) plans to procure, on a sole source basis, skin biopsy analysis for the study of Small Fiber Neuropathies from: Integrated Tissue Dynamics LLC (dba: INTiDYN) 7 University Place, Suite B236 Rensselaer, NY 12144 The response close date of the notice for this requirement is in accordance with FAR 5.203(b). This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 12 � Acquisition for Commercial Items and will be made pursuant to the authority 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 541380 and the business size standard is $19 million. � The NCCIH/DIR/OCD requires the total process of INTiDYN ChemoMorphometric Analysis (ITD-CMA) which is unique to Integrated Tissue Dynamics, LLC. Integrated Tissue Dynamics is the sole vendor available that has access to the required (ITD-CMA) system, as well as the level and range of published and unpublished research experience. For data continuity purposes, NCCIH requires the same analysis services from Integrated Tissue Dynamics so the branch can continue conducting the existing studies. Under the previous award PO 75N91023P00703, INTiDYN provided the analysis for samples for the study of Small Fiber Neuropathies. The current requirement is a continuation of this line of NCCIH research and Contractor services, to continue biomarker development. It is critical to use the same laboratory, equipment, handling approach, quality control approach, and data processing to ensure the scientific comparability of the new data with the previous data. Any deviation from the proposed acquisition strategy would result in the NCCIH being unable to combine the results provided under the subsequent award with the results provided under the previous award, as the findings would not be scientifically comparable. Using a different vendor for this acquisition would make it impossible to compare historical biomarkers with those being identified within this procurement, thereby compromising the ultimate objectives of the study. This notice is not a request for competitive quotations. However, if any interested party, especially a small business, believes it can meet the Government�s needs, it may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quote for the Government to consider. The response and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient details to allow NCI to determine if the party can perform the requirement. Responses to this notice shall be submitted via email to Contract Specialist, Elizabeth Vitucci, at elizabeth.tucker@nih.gov no later than 03:00 P.M. EST on Monday, July 15, 2024 (07/15/2024). 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 for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government reserves the right to use the information provided by respondents for any purpose deemed necessary and legally appropriate. To receive an award, Contractors must be registered and have valid certification through SAM.GOV. Please reference the notice number 75N91024Q00142 on all correspondence.� ***Please reference attached Statement of Work for more details pertaining to the nature of the work to be performed.*** �
