- Description
- The Radiation Epidemiology Branch (REB), Division of Cancer Epidemiology & Genetics (DCEG), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) is recompeting a requirement to continue dosimetry support services for epidemiologic studies of populations exposed to ionizing radiation, conducted by the REB. This support is essential to REB's ability to quantify radiation risks and provide information on dose-response relationships. The contractor shall evaluate the radiotherapy records collected by the REB and determine whether the data are adequate to calculate organ doses and provide organ doses for individual study subjects to the REB for analysis. The contractor shall provide the support necessary to make measurements on anthropomorphic phantoms, water phantoms, and/or use mathematical phantoms or computerized treatment planning programs or other resources in order to reconstruct radiation doses to specific organs following medical exposures. The contractor shall: (1) determine the manner in which physical dosimetry can be best applied to the epidemiologic studies of interest, (2) coordinate dosimetry data collected or prepared by other collaborators who are participating in DCEG studies, (3) estimate doses to designated organs or sites within organs, (4) compare various dosimetry methods to validate consistency and accuracy of estimated doses, (5) report doses to NCI, along with an indicator of the quality of radiotherapy information, and (6) provide dosimetry data to REB to conduct methodologic studies to evaluate the potential biases and uncertainties in the dose estimates. It is anticipated that one (1) cost-reimbursement, incrementally funded, completion type contract will be awarded for a five-year period of performance beginning approximately April 29, 2005. The solicitation is scheduled for electronic release on or before September 16, 2004. The proposals will be due approximately 30 days following the actual date of RFP issuance. RFP N02-CP-51002-38 may be accessed through the Research Contracts Branch Home Page by using the following internet address: http://rcb.nci.nih.gov/ and clicking on Current Requests for Proposals. It is the responsibility of any potential offeror to monitor the above internet site for the release of this solicitation and amendments, if any. POTENTIAL OFFERORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOWNLOADING THEIR OWN COPIES OF THE SOLICITATION AND AMENDMENTS. Any responsible offeror may submit a proposal that will be considered by the Government; however, this notice does not commit the Government to the award of a contract. No collect calls will be accepted.
