Description

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Urologic Oncology Branch (UOB), plans to procure two, second year urology residence to perform services and support from Medstar Georgetown University Hospital, 2115 Wisconsin Avenue Suite 108, Washington, D.C., 20007. The services and supplies herein are commercial as defined in FAR Part 12, and this acquisition is being made in accordance with the test program for using simplified procedures for certain commercial items as authorized by FAR Part 13. The North American Industry Classification System code is 622110 and the business size standard is $29M. The urologic surgery program at the National Cancer Institute evaluates patients with known or suspected urologic cancer and manages a large number of patients with hereditary forms of cancers of the kidney and other organs. These patients are evaluated in the Clinical Center of the NIH and are entered into clinical trials involving medical as well as surgical therapy. NCI has a need for second year urological surgery residents in approved training programs to see the patients, manage them in the clinic as inpatients and in the operating room under the guidance of an NCI urological surgery attending surgeon. The NCI urologic surgery program is also responsible for all urologic care at the Clinical Center, NIH. Second year urological surgical residents have the unique skills, training, and education required to evaluate and manage patients with urologic disorders at the NCI. It is important that the residents be from a urologic surgery program that is less than one hour from NIH and that the urology program that they are from be approved by the Residency Review Committee (RRC) for this activity. The residents must be in an RRC-approved residency program and the RRC must have approved this activity. This is important for the educational mission of the Urologic Oncology Branch and for the Urologic Oncology Fellowship program at the NCI. Physicians at the Urologic Oncology Branch, CCR, NCI have had a long standing relationship and are conducting joint collaborative studies with physicians from the Division of Urology at the Georgetown University Medical Center. The physicians need to be residents in urologic surgery and have at lease one year of urological surgical training experience. Residents must be able to manage patients with complex urologic disorders before surgery, in the operating room and after surgery in the post-operative period. They also must be able to manage critical urological surgical emergencies in pre and post-operative patients. These physicians shall provide urologic medical care for the Urologic Oncology Branch (UOB) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Contractor shall provide liability insurance for the resident physicians. The urology residents shall not be covered by the Federal Tort Claims Act. Period of Performance: Upon award through 12 months, with four (4) option year periods. The contractor shall provide two second year urology residents for the period of six (6) months each, January 1 - June 30 and July 1 - December 31 during each calendar year. Georgetown University Medical Center is the only known source that can provide two second year residents to perform the aforementioned services. Georgetown is also the only known University Urology Department who can send urological surgical second year residents to NCI for 12 months who are approved for this activity by the Urologic Surgery Residency Review Committee. It is also important to have highly skilled surgeons from a program such as Georgetown that has high clinical standards who can provide outstanding surgical and medical care to the patient population at NCI. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotation. However, if any interested party believes it can meet the above requirements, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The capability statement and any other furnished information must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NCI to determine if the party can fully meet the requirements herein. Capability statements must be received in the contracting office by 1:00 PM EST (local Washington DC time) on December 16, 2003. If you have any questions, please submit them in writing via electronic mail to Malinda Holdcraft, Purchasing Agent on holdcram@exchange.nih.gov or by fax 301-402-4513. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received shall be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No collect calls will be accepted.
