This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures as stated in FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1).

This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. Period of performance shall be for 12 months from date of award. The objective of this requirement is to obtain stored, pre-diagnostic serum specimens from the liver cancer cases, the male breast cancer cases and matched controls in the Kaiser Permanente Multiphasic Health Check-up MHC cohort study. These samples will subsequently be examined for hormone levels (male breast cancer study and liver cancer study), as well as hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and inflammatory markers (just liver cancer study). The NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics is conducting case-control studies of rare cancers (primary liver cancer and male breast cancer) among the population of Kaiser Permanente's Multiphasic Health Check-up study. Serologic determination of hormones (in both studies), as well as hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus, and inflammatory markers (solely in the liver cancer study) and are critical to achieve the aims of the studies. All serum samples for the cohort are held in storage under the custody of the Orentreich Foundation for the Advancement of Science, Cold Spring-on-Hudson, NY. The Orentreich Foundation is, therefore, the only institution that can provide the stored serum samples from the study participants. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations.
