Description
THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Consolidated Operations Acquisition Center (COAC) for the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to Dr. H. George Hausch, 7805 Oracle Place, Potomac, Maryland 20854, to provide consultation services to the Scientific Review Branch (SRB), Division of Extramural Division, NIDCR. Background: The Scientific Review Branch (SRB) provides assistance and expertise in specific scientific areas, including women and minorities, for review of the grant applications. Assistance is provided in the following logistical tasks by identifying potential reviewers from various sources such as knowledgeable staff, the literature, and databases; confirming personal data and provide this information to Scientific Review Branch (SRB) Scientific Review Administrators (SRA) to make selections for the review; setting up and monitoring electronic review; and editing documents. Statement of Work: Specifically, the Contractor shall provide consultation services to the NIDCR, providing services required of a Scientific Review Branch expert familiar with the structure of NIDCR programs and staffing to assist with the grant applications and identify areas of expertise needed for scientific merit review. Identify potential reviewers by consultation with Review and Program staff, checking the literature and various data bases such as the IMPAC II, Medline, and Grateful Med, and active grant lists; obtain curriculum vitae; confirm personal data such as addresses, FAX number, expertise, etc. The Contractor will place special emphasis in identifying minority and women candidates. The Contractor will assist with all necessary follow-up via telephone and email, to confirm meeting dates, set up and monitor electronic review and edit documents. The Contractor will also provide substantial assistance to update the reviewer profiles in the IMPAC II database. The Contractor shall not manage the initial review of grant or cooperative agreement applications or contract proposals?, determine conflicts of interest, invite consultants to serve on peer review panels, or assign consultants specific responsibilities in the assessment of scientific and/or technical merits of the applications/proposals. The Contractor shall not serve as the Designated Federal Official who manages a review panel meeting. The Contractor shall not provide official guidance concerning peer review laws, regulations, NIH policies and procedures to peer review consultants, federal staff, or applicants. The Contractor shall not prepare the final written report (the ?Resume and Summary of Discussion? for applications or Technical Evaluation Report for contract proposals). Reporting Requirements: The Contractor shall report on a weekly basis the number of hours worked. Period of Performance: This project is expected to require 720 man hours during the period of performance, beginning the date of the award and approximately seven (7) months. The sole source determination is based upon the knowledge, skills and expertise associated with Dr. Haunch?s 34 years of experience working in and with the NIH peer review system as a program administrator with National Institutes of Health National Institute of Dental & Craniofacial Research (NIDCR). This source is intimately familiar with the wide variety of occupations at NIDCR and is sensitive to the needs of the oral health research community, because of his familiarity with the Program Announcements (PA) and Request for Applications (RFA) requiring review assistance and support: Request for Applications: (RFA): DE-06-003, DE-06-005, DE-06-008, DE-006-008, Program Announcement Requests (PAR):-03020, 03-059, 03-042. He is familiar with both the program and review staff associated with these Funding Opportunity Announcements? (FOA) and based on past activities is able to work closely with the staff. An award to any other source would affect the NIH anticipated outcome based upon Dr. Hausch, experience, and knowledge, and would not provide any cost savings to the Government. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 541990 and the Size Standard $6M. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13, simplified acquisition procedures. It is noted that FAR Part 6, Competition Requirement is not applicable to simplified acquisition. This notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Comments to this announcement, referencing synopsis number NHLBI-PS-(DE)2006-120-DDC, may be submitted to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Consolidated Operations Acquisition Center, Procurement Branch, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Suite 6042, Bethesda, MD 20892-7902, Attention: Deborah Coulter.
