- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences? (DCCPS), Office of Cancer Survivorship (OCS), plans to procure on a sole source basis services for the second CancerCare Cancer Survivorship Teleconference series from Cancer Care, Inc., 275 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001. As we race into the new millennium, cancer for increasing numbers has become a curable illness and for most, a controllable disease. However, it is becoming rapidly apparent that few of our modern therapies are benign. The chronic and late effects of cancer and its treatment can range from mild and transient problems, to serious and at times fatal conditions, and affect all aspects of function: physical, functional, emotional, social and economic. Over the past decade, CancerCare, Inc. has pioneered educational teleconferences as a means of extending the capacity or ?reach? of efforts to communicate important health information. CancerCare?s Telephone Education Workshops have become a highly effective method through which to disseminate information about cancer to as broad an audience as possible ? immediately overcoming barriers created by distance, physical disability and geographic isolation. CancerCare?s educational teleconferences currently serve over 35,000 individuals in the US and abroad. Participants engage in educational discussions in which scientific and clinical experts summarize current knowledge about and techniques to address all aspects of the cancer experience. The CancerCare organization offers approximately 70 to 75 cancer-related educational teleconference programs each year. The three topics for the third teleconference Cancer Survivorship Series will be chosen based on feedback derived from Cancer Care?s formal evaluation process with prior year participants. Currently, CancerCare is the exclusive coordinator of the CancerCare: Cancer survivorship teleconference series. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested party believes it can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow the researcher to determine if the party can perform this requirement. An original and one copy of the capability statements must be received in the contracting office by 1:00 p.m. EDT, on August 18, 2004. All questions must be in writing and can be faxed to (301) 402-4513 or emailed to dm170b@nih.gov . It is the vendor's responsibility to call (301) 402-4509 to insure questions have been received. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No collect call will be accepted. NAICS 541990, Size Standard 6M.
