- Description
- National Public Health Surveillance for Chemical and Toxin Exposures The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) / National Center for Environmental Health/Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects/Health Studies Branch (NCEH/EHHE/HSB) intends to award a sole source firm-fixed contract to the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC), 515 King Street, Suite 510, Alexandria, VA 22314. The contract will be for a base year of 12 months with 2 option years of 12 months each. The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C 2304(c) (1) in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1- only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirement. AAPCC owns and manages the database holding all information about human poison exposure case phone calls made into poison control centers (PCCs) across the country. This database is called the National Poison Data System (NPDS) and it is the only near real-time comprehensive poisoning surveillance database in the United States. This poisoning data is updated every 4-10 minutes, 24 hours a day. Toxicologists, epidemiologists, and statisticians at AAPCC and CDC (NCEH/EHHE/HSB) have developed and continually modify categories of information collected by the national poisonings data system to analyze for aberration detection. These categories are as follows: • Call volume data - total number of calls and calls regarding all human exposures or potential exposures • Clinical effect data - calls reporting each of 131 clinical effects • Specific substance data - calls reporting exposure or potential exposure to a specific chemical or groups of chemicals of interest. CDC requires this specific data structure and analysis in order to maintain the comprehensive poisoning surveillance database in the United States. The AAPCC is the only known source of this detailed data. The hardware and software used to collect and analyze the data is proprietary to AAPCC. No other source has access to this system or the experience and expertise to properly use it. CDC receives national poisonings data from the PCCs under a specific licensing agreement with the AAPCC. Only AAPCC, as owner and manager of the NPDS data, can provide a license. No solicitation will be posted to FedBizOpps. We will only issue a solicitation to AAPCC. CDC believes that AAPCC is the only source available to provide this service that meets mission critical requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for proposal. A determination to compete this procurement based on a response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Interested parties who believe they possess the capability to satisfy this requirement should submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet this requirement. All responses must be sent in writing to Ms. Vallerie Redd via email to vredd@cdc.gov using solicitation number 2011-N-13476 in the subject line, no later than 11:59 Pm Eastern Time, 13 June 2011.
