This acquisition is being conducted in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 13--Simplified Acquisition Procedures, FAR Subpart 13.5--Test Program for Certain Commercial Items, and FAR Part 12--Acquisition of Commercial Items. The solicitation number is HHS-NIH-NIDA-(SSSA)-CSS-2016-176 and the solicitation is issued as a PRE-SOLICITATION, NOTICE OF INTENT, to award a contract on a noncompetitive basis with Tecan US Inc, 9401 Globe Center Drive, Ste 140, Morrisville, NC 27560. This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13--Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.5--Test Program for Certain Commercial Items, and Subpart 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, and is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

The associated NAICS code for this requirement is 811219, Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, size standard $20.5 dollars. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside Background The purpose of the NIH Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Disease program (TRND) is to develop new candidate drugs for individuals with rare and neglected diseases. TRND activities will build upon the NIH Roadmap to accomplish its goals including the successes of NCATS. Our group facilitates drug discovery from the basic research lab to the pre-clinical stage. Picking up where our Probe Development Group work leaves off, TRND will concentrate its efforts on the pre-clinical stage of drug development, where researchers develop clinical candidate in preparation for human testing. In doing so, TRND will help bridge the wide gaps in time and resources that often exist between basic research and clinical testing of new drugs. It is expected that in most cases, TRND's clinical candidates will be licensed to biopharmaceutical companies for further development, thus allowing TRND to focus on the scientifically challenging pre-clinical stages of the drug development, and "de-risking" the projects sufficiently to make them adoptable by private sector companies. The NCATS Office of Rare Diseases Research (ORDR) will handle oversight and governance of TRND. Researchers are now performing TRND's laboratory work in our newly renovated facility within our 9800 facility.
