- Description
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Office of Science Planning and Assessment plans to enter into a sole source contract with RAND Corporation, 1200 South Hayes Street, Arlington, VA 22202. The purpose of this project is to provide a written evaluation of selected existing U.S. tissue resources to support and guide the development of a design and engineering plan for a new National Tissue Resource model. This effort is a collaborative project and jointly funded by the National Cancer Institute and the National Dialogue on Cancer. The evaluation will consider a collection of government, academic, and private sector tissue repositories to identify "best practices," and assess whether these resources could be adapted to fulfill the requirements of a new model for a National Tissue Resource. In 1999, RAND Corporation published a supplement to a National Bioethics Advisory Commission Report about the ethical and policy issues relation to research on human biological materials. Dr Elisa Eiseman, an employee of RAND, was the Principal Investigator of the study and this proposed evaluation of selected existing U.S. tissue resources builds upon that effort and relies heavily on the previously-collected data. This is not a request for competitive proposals. However, offerors who believe they are qualified for this effort may submit a qualification statement for consideration. This statement must demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of the previous publication, access to the data used for the publication, a listing of resources available for this project and a commitment from the principal investigator of the earlier work to consult/work on the project. An original and one copy of the qualification statements must be received in the contracting office by 2:00 p.m. EDT, on May 9, 2003. All questions must be in writing and can be faxed to (301) 402-4513 or emailed to dm170b@nih.gov . It is the vendor's responsibility to call (301) 402-4509 to insure questions have been received. 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 solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No collect call will be accepted.
