Description

It is the intent of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to negotiate on a sole source basis with Howard University Hospital, Division of Cardiology, 2041 Georgia Ave, N.W., STE 6C03, Washington, D.C. 20060 to participate in the NHLBI protocol to conduct genetic analysis in African American Hypertensive patients. The period of performance is approximately two (2) years. This requirement is under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 8733, Size and Standard $5.0M. This acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures and is exempt for the requirement of FAR Part 6. Inherent duplication of cost to the Government and unacceptable delays in completing the project makes competition unfeasible for this final phase of the protocol, which provides for longer follow-up and data analysis. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this requirement. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct future competitive procurement. Responses to this announcement referencing synopsis number NHLBI-PS-2000-667 may be submitted to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, Contracts Operations Branch, Procurement Section, Building RKL2, Suite 6042, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Bethesda, MD. 20892-7902. Attention Tabitha Davol, Purchasing Agent. "All responsible sources may submit a quotation, which if timely received, shall be considered by the agency".
