- Description
- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT AND NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, NC intends to negotiate and issue an order on a sole source basis with Evidence Partners, Ottawa, Canada as it has been determined that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonable available. This notice is for the renewal of DistillerSR Software Licenses (25 licenses) for the period September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016. This software has been used by NIEHS/Office of Health Assessment and Translation (OHAT) for several years to screen studies in several ongoing evaluations. This software provides a web-based platform used for screening studies for relevance in literature-based evaluations using systematic review methodology. This software provides the ability to address screening conflicts, develop customized screening forms, and search across screened studies. It also provides the ability to track conflicts using color coding to highlight key words during screening, management tools to assist in structure reviews, and flexible report formats. Due to the extensive amount of documentation created in DistillerSR, a change in software would result in years of lost research data. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received within 7 days from the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 7 days of this notice to determine whether a qualified source is more advantageous to the Government, the order will be issued to Evidence Partners. NAICS Code/Size is 511210/$38.5Million. Award is subject to approval of Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition. This procurement is to be processed using FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures in conjunction with FAR Part 12 Commercial Item Acquisition of Commercial Items. There is no solicitation package available. For any questions regarding this announcement, please contact Dee Lunney via email lunney@niehs.nih.gov.
