- Description
- The procurement is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures according to FAR Part 13. Also, this is a commercial item so FAR Part 12.6 is applicable as well. It is the intent of the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Specialized Information Services (SIS) to award on a sole source basis to Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment (TERA) of Cincinnati, OH to assist the government in creating new content, enhancing existing content, and providing support for content building activities for the CHEMM Website. This award will be firm-fixed price. A sources sought notice was published in relation to this requirement. TERA is the only known source that has demonstrated the skills necessary to provide the product and service required for this effort. The North American Industry Classification System Code is 541690 and the business size standard is $7M. NLM anticipates that award will be made on or about February 8, 2012. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The period of performance shall be twelve (12) months from date of award with four (4) one year options. BACKGROUND The Chemical Hazards Emergency Medical Management (CHEMM) tool is designed to provide access to comprehensive sets of information via a user-friendly interface. The users include first responders, first receivers, other health care providers, and planners, and CHEMM allows these users to plan for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents involving chemicals. CHEMM's unique content covers information especially relevant to chemical exposure-related mass casualty and "unusual" scenarios. CHEMM's expert interface will link users to resources from other organizations, e.g., U.S. EPA/NOAA (CAMEO tools), the CDC's Emergency Preparedness and Response Web site and NIOSH Emergency Response Safety and Health Database (ERSH-DB), the chemical industry's CHEMTREC service, poison control centers, etc. Like NIH's WISER (Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders) and REMM (Radiation Emergency Medical Management), CHEMM is available on the Internet for online use on computers and handheld devices, and also for download so that it can be used in an emergency even without an Internet connection. PROJECT REQUIREMENTS The contractor will implement specific tasks to accomplish the work outlined below during the period of performance. Task 1. Create new content for CHEMM in easy Web-readable style, by extracting/summarizing data from NLM approved reference materials. The content should be written for easily readable style for the Web. Task 2. Enhance, update, and revise current topical content for CHEMM. Task 3. Select references and Web links to Internet resources for inclusion in CHEMM Website, and provide comments on possible enhancement of the selection criteria. Task 4. Support content building activities such as facilitating peer consultation and peer review meetings, pending on availability of funding. This is not a Request for Quotations (RFQ), nor is a RFQ available. However, if any interested party believes it has the capability to fulfill the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The capabilities statement should demonstrate that the interested party is able to provide the professional technical services as specified above. 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 calls will be accepted. In order to receive an award, contractors must be registered and have valid certification in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and the Online Representation and Certifications Application (ORCA).
