(Individual patient identifiers will at no time reside in the centralized database). Surveillance will include descriptive and quantitative information on persons with HIV infection, monitoring of asymptomatic HIV infection, phrophylaxis against associated opportunistic illnesses, and anti-retroviral therapy. The anticipated performance period is from date of award through December 31, 2000 with 3 one year options. It is believed that ARCA possesses the capability and is uniquely qualified to perform this study due to the fact that the contractor has successfully developed and maintained an historical database containing specified data elements dating back to 1990. All responsible sources qualified to provide the foregoing services may submit a response which may be considered by the Agency. See Note 22 Posted 10/19/99 (W-SN392791). (0292)
