The Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP), Division of Cancer Treatment, and Diagnosis (DCTD), National Cancer Institute (NCI) is seeking a contractor to operate and maintain its Biological Data Processing System. The DTP program is aimed at facilitating the discovery and preclinical development of new drugs for treatment of cancer. A major portion of the DTP's drug discovery effort relies on screening to identify new drug leads from both synthetic compounds and natural product sources. The general strategy for screening involves the use of a primary in vitro screen followed by additional detailed in vitro, in vivo hollow fiber, and in vivo testing. To accommodate the many samples potentially available for screening, highly automated assays have been developed. Successful implementation of these screening programs requires close coupling of laboratory process control, data acquisition, database management, and data analysis and presentation. In addition to the primary screening activities, data acquisition and database support is required for secondary testing and interaction with other screening studies. Experience is required in the following areas: Planning and designing scientific information systems; implementing large and complex biological and chemical databases; various hardware/software environments such as VAX/VMS, Oracle, TCP/IP, C, SAS, Visual Basic, HTML, InterDev, and postscript. Proposed personnel should be experienced in software development in these areas and in biological and chemical application development. Offerors must demonstrate proficiency designing and developing browser-based and client-server solutions and establishing database connectivity between such solutions and an Oracle database. It is anticipated that one level of effort award requiring approximately 35 productive FTES over the life of the contract will be made for a five-year period of performance with incremental funding each year. The proposed acquisition is a recompetition of contracts N02-CM-57198 and N02-CM-57219 both awarded to Allied Technology Group, Inc. This acquisition has been designated as a 100% Small Business Set Aside. The solicitation is scheduled for electronic release approximately May 13, 1999.
