- Title: RECOVERY - Networks of Tissue Source Sites (TSS) Supporting NCI's The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Program POTENTIAL OFFERORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOWNLOADING THEIR OWN COPY OF THE SOLICITATION AND AMENDMENTS THAT MAY BE ISSUED. THIS ACQUISITION IS BEING ADVERTISED UNDER FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a comprehensive, collaborative effort led by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to accelerate our understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of genome analysis technologies. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) launched TCGA as a 3-year pilot. The second phase of the project is to study at least 20 additional cancers over five (5) years. This project aims to systematically explore the entire spectrum of genomic changes involved in human cancer. This project is designed to comprehensively analyze DNA copy number changes, including large and small scale rearrangements, transcription profiles, epigenetic modifications, sequence variation, and sequence in both tumor tissue and case-matched germline DNA. To successfully generate comprehensive data, TCGA will acquire in excess of 40,000 biospecimens over the course of this project. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), is seeking qualified contractors in establishing Tissue Source Site (TSS) networks capable of delivering clinically annotated biospecimens. The tissue and data shall be delivered to one of TCGA's Biospecimen Core Resource(s) (BCRs) for storage, quality control, processing into molecular analyses, and other research support efforts. Request for Proposal (RFP) N02-CO-07009-65 will be available on/or about March 15, 2010 and receipt for proposals will be available on/or about 2:00 p.m., Eastern Prevailing Time on April 15, 2010. The RFP will only be available electronically and must be accessed through the National Cancer Institute's Office of Acquisitions external website (http://rcb.nci.nih.gov/); once there, click on Current Requests for Proposals. Under the Section entitled The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Project, click on solicitation number N02-CO-07009-65 entitled, "Networks of Tissue Source Sites (TSS) Supporting NCI's The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Program." Interested parties are expected to review this notice and the Request for Proposal to familiarize themselves with the requirements of the project; failure to do so will be at your firm's own risk. All information required for submission of a proposal will be contained in the electronic RFP package. POTENTIAL OFFERORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOWNLOADING THEIR OWN COPY OF THE RFP AND ANY AMENDMENTS, FAILURE TO DO SO WILL BE AT YOUR FIRM'S OWN RISK.

We anticipate the contract(s) shall be a cost-reimbursement/award fee (completion type), and will be awarded for a seventeen (17) month base period, plus three one-year options and one (1) seven-month option. The anticipated start date is on/or about July 15, 2010. It is anticipated that the seventeen (17) month base period will be funded utilizing ARRA Funding. The option periods, if exercised will be supported by appropriated funds. All responsible and qualified sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the Government. This advertisement does not commit the Government to award a contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this project is 325413, with a size standard of 500 employees. Point of Contact: C.
