- 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 Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Office of Acquisitions - Neurosciences, Station Support/Simplified Acquisitions, on behalf of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), Division of Pre-clinical Innovation, intends to negotiate a Purchase Order on a sole source basis with the University of Maryland, located at 3112 Lee Building, College Park, MD 20742, for contractor support in examining the effectiveness of sensors in research involving phenylketonuria and hyperammonemia. The Contractor will perform specialized analysis of separate sensing systems and its effectiveness as point-of-care sensors for phenylketonuria and hyperammonemia. An electrochemical sensing mechanism will be investigated more in depth for phenylketonuria, and a colorimetric test will be developed and investigated for the detection of hyperammonemia. This acquisition involves sensors that respond to levels of glutamate from normal up to diseased concentrations as well as a colorimetric sensor for ammonia in human plasma. Specifically, Contractor will examine these detection sensing systems, as it relates to the Electrochemical Detection of Phenylalanine in solution, Nafion as a Blood Filter, and the Colorimetric Detection of Ammonia in a more precise response to hyperammonemic concentrations of ammonia. This acquisition will achieve the development of devices capable of detecting these metabolites in real time and the development of small autonomous devices able to conduct real time detection of a wide range of metabolites involved in the numerous metabolic and endocrine disorders. This acquisition is made under Simplified Acquisition Procedures in conjunction with the policies and procedures for solicitation, evaluation, and award prescribed in FAR Part 12, and is exempt from the competition requirements of Part 6. 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 within the discretion of the Government. Comments to this announcement, referencing this synopsis number, may be submitted to the NIDA SS/SA Branch, prior to the closing date specified in this announcement, electronically to the attention of Hunter A. Tjugum, Contract Specialist, at hunter.tjugum@nih.gov.
