- Description
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), NIH, intends to negotiate with the Logical Technical Services (LTS) Corporation under the Authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1(b)(1), Unique Capabilities, for a modification to continue Contract No. N01-AI-05393, awarded as a small business set-aside under NAICS Code 541519 (formerly SIC Code 7379) for the period of 12/01/1999 through 11/30/2003. Until we have a complete understanding of the impact of changes in the overall operation of NIAID, as directed by NIH and DHHS, and the upcoming implementation of A-76, we are unable at this time to develop a Statement of Work for the planned recompetition of this requirement. The negotiated modification will provide for a level of increased effort over a period of 18 months, and extension of the current period of performance. Under the proposed extension, the Contractor will continue to provide technical, scientific and logistics support currently required in the areas of Internet and Intranet site development and testing; records management, advisory council and committee support, peer review, support in the grants and contracts areas, and scientific coding for research activities. LTS Corporation is uniquely qualified to continue to fulfill these requirements by virtue of their performance on the current contract. If the proposed extended effort were to be awarded to another contractor at this time, the consequential interruption in the operation of the Division of Extramural Activities would result in unacceptable delays and failure to make congressionally mandated awards in Fiscal Years 2003 and 2004. Therefore, no other services will satisfy Agency requirements. Because all work in this contract requires contractor staff to work on-site in DEA, NIAID, facilities some or all of the time and to meet frequently with DEA staff, offerors and their proposed staff, consultants and subcontractors must be located within a 50 mile radius or a 1 hour drive of DEA?s offices. Offerors who submit capability statements must demonstrate their ability to assume the work without undue interruption to the support currently being provided to the DEA and without unnecessary duplication of cost and effort. If there are responsible sources who feel that they are able to perform the requirement, they must respond by submitting the information required by Numbered Note 22 on/before the closing date noted in this announcement. See Government-wide Numbered Notes 22 and 26. No collect calls will be accepted.
