- Description
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intends to award a sole source purchase order to Lincoln Technologies, Inc. of Wellesley, Hills, MA 02481. Lincoln Technologies has participated in a multi-year collaboration with the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) that has resulted in Lincoln?s creation of WebDVDME. Lincoln will collaborate further with the FDA to test and deploy WebDVDME as a tool for assisting safety evaluators and epidemiologists in both CDER and CBER. Data mining is a technique for extracting meaningful, organized information from large complex databases. There has been increasing interest in the use of data mining technology to enhance the FDA?s ability to monitor the safety products after they have been approved for use. The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) received approximately 100,000 adverse event reports annually. Currently, no standard statistical tools are in place to detect signals among these reports. The purpose of this project is to support an evaluation by CDRH of the potential value of data mining in the device setting. This tool may optimize evaluation resources and enhance CDRH?s ability to identify device-related safety concerns. The use of enhanced data mining techniques may improve upon CDRH?s current ability to identify adverse event patterns in post-market safety databases. This evaluation will include getting the WebVDME environment set up and working on a CDRH server, training and user support, MAUDE data preparation and loading, collaborative experimentation in tuning the application and the data and applying it to some test problems. The tasks to be accomplished include: WebVDME software installation; system setup; initial administration; training; pone support; MAUDE data preparation for data mining; database mapping and load script development; WebVDME data mining configuration setup; collaboration in methodology assessment and improvement; initial data mining runs; assessment of different data mining analysis strategies; and Project Management. Sources with the capability of performing these services must submit descriptive literature which fully demonstrates their capabilities. The FDA will review and consider these submissions in making its award decision. The award will be made as a simplified acquisition in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). An award will be made on or after 9/15/04. Email inquiries should be sent to Mary.Farrell@FDA.GOV.
