A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Consolidated Operations Acquisitions Center (COAC) for the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to MD Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd PO Box 3014, Houston, TX 77030. This purchase is for sampling and recruitment, Spanish translation, interviewing, and data processing support for a research project entitled ?The Role of Family Health History and Culture in Health Decision Making?. The specific duties will include: identifying 200 households within the Mano a Mano cohort that meet eligibility criteria for the project; assist in the translation of survey instruments into Spanish; administer the baseline and 4-week post feedback survey instruments to adult members of each identified household (1000 interviews; 1500 hours); and prepare a dataset containing the interview responses for analysis. The period of performance will be from September 15, 2006 through September 14, 2007. The evaluation criteria that will be utilized to review the response submitted in response to this solicitation will be as follows: 1) understanding of the technical requirements and adequacy of the proposed approach; 2) qualifications of personnel; and 3) past performance. The sole source determination is based on providing continuity to the study participants and maintaining accurate study results for the study. The sampling and recruitment for this project must come from the Mano a Mano cohort, a group that MD Anderson has previously worked with under a different study. Working with MD Anderson will allow the government to utilize the relationship already developed between the contractor and the study group, thus reducing the time necessary for training and understanding the study objectives. It would also save money by reducing the cost of survey development, interviewing and data processing. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 541611 and the Size Standard is $6.5M. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and is exempt from the requirements of FAR part 6, Competition Requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government.
