Description
Department of Health and Human Services, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 6710B Rockledge Drive, Room 1155A, Bethesda, MD 20817. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) plans to procure on a sole source basis with Mayo Clinic, 13400 E Shea Boulevard, Scottsdale, AZ 85259 for 105 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to search for evidence of renal and hepatic fibrosis, assess intrarenal iron content, and to obtain measures of cortical and total renal volume of both kidneys. The scans will be performed by Dr. Alvin Silva on a General Electric 3T scanner with a 32-channel head coil in the imaging center at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix and will be interpreted by Dr. Richard Ehman at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The raw imaging data generated from these scans will be delivered electronically on a DVD to Dr. Robert Nelson in the Chronic Kidney Disease Section in Phoenix, Arizona. A clinical interpretation of the findings on each participant will also be provided. The measurements will be performed, and the data delivered beginning in April 2018 and continuing till the 105 scans are completed. We are studying the course and determinants of diabetic kidney disease in Pima Indians with type 2 diabetes. The project includes state-of-the-art measurements of kidney structure and function. Recent advances in imaging of the kidney may make it possible to assess kidney structure without obtaining a kidney biopsy. In this study, we intend to compare kidney images obtained using magnetic resonance imaging with the gold standard morphometric measurements obtained from kidney tissue at biopsy. Since participants with type 2 diabetes are also at greater risk of liver fibrosis linked to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, we also want to examine participants for the presence of liver fibrosis using magnetic resonance elastography. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, they may submit a statement of capabilities. All information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient detail to allow the NIDDK to determine if it can meet the above unique specifications described herein. An original and one copy of the capability statement must be received in the NICHD Acquisitions Services Branch on or before 11:00 AM EST on May 24, 2018. All questions must be in writing and can be emailed to V. Lynn Griffin, Business Opportunity Specialist at verne.griffin@nih.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to receive an award, contractor must be registered and have valid certification in the System for Award Management https://www.sam.gov. No collect calls will be accepted. Please reference solicitation number NICHD201800040 on all correspondences. Confidentiality - No proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information should be included in your response. The Government reserves the right to use any non-proprietary technical information in any resultant solicitation(s)."
