- Document Type: Presolicitation Notice Solicitation No.: NHLBI-PB-HG-2006-272/KLW Posted Date: August 10, 2006 Response Date: August 24, 2006 Archive Date: Classification Code: R ? Professional, Administrative, and Management Support Services NAICS Code: 541611 ?Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services Set Aside: N/A Description: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. 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 computer programming, Spanish translation, interviewing, and data processing support as a supplemental study for the ?Promoting Smoke-Free Indoor Air Policy in Mexican American Households? study. The specific duties will include assisting in the translation of survey instruments into Spanish; administering the Family Network, Illness Representation, and Perceived Risk survey via interview format at the baseline, and 6-month post intervention assessments to the study participants; and to prepare a dataset containing the interview responses for analysis. The period of performance will be from August 2006 through July 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 a study already in progress. A research protocol entitled ?Promoting Smoke-Free Indoor Air Policy in Mexican American Households? is currently being conducted by this contractor. This request is for supplemental interviews for the existing protocol. Changing variables at this time by awarding the supplemental work to an outside contractor would be disruptive and confusing to the study participants to be interviewed by two different interviewers during the same time frame and could result in incorrect data analysis. By awarding the supplemental work to this contractor the government would save time by reducing the time necessary for training and understanding of the study. The government 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. Comments to this announcement, referencing synopsis number NHLBI-PB-HG-2006-272/KLW may be submitted to the National Heart Lung, and Blood Institute, Consolidated Acquisitions Center, Procurement Branch, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Suite 6042, Bethesda, MD 20892-7902, Attention: Kesha Williams.
