Description

The National Cancer Institute intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, with Concept Systems Incorporated (CSI), 118 Prospect Street, Suite 309, Ithaca, New York 14850. CSI will facilitate the translation of surveillance and intervention research evidence so as to promote the adoption of evidence-based community health practices in order to reduce cancer incidence and improve cancer outcomes, particularly for underserved communities whose disproportionate cancer burden makes the greatest contribution to cancer-related health disparities. The TRIO initiative has three components: 1) surveillance and modeling, 2) dissemination of evidence-based cancer control interventions, and 3) special partnerships to understand the infrastructure barriers to eliminating cancer-related health disparities in underserved communities. The provided services and supplies are proprietary and commercial as defined in FAR Part 2. The total contracted dollar amount of this contract will not exceed $500,000. CSI is the owner and sole licensor of The Concept System software suite. This action is under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1 and HHSAR 306-302-1. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The code for this project based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 541490 with a size standard of $5 million. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received by July 10, 2001 at 3:00 PM local time will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
