- Description
- The Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is recompetiting a project which is currently be performed by the American Type Culture Collection under Contract No. N02-CP-81019. The DCEG is seeking a Contractor who will support the various on-going case-control and cohort studies with molecular biology components being conducted by DCEG Investigators. There are four laboratory procedures, or assays to be provided by a single contractor for this acquisition. One or more of these tasks shall be performed on each sample provided by the NCI Project Officer (P.O.). These include: 1) Extraction of DNA from fresh whole blood specimens, transformed lymphoblastoid lines, cultured fibroblasts, tumor specimens, buccal cells, paraffin-embedded tissue, Guthrie cards, cytology preparations, or other biological specimens, as possible from advances in technology; 2) Extraction of RNA from fresh whole blood specimens, transformed lymphoblastoid lines, cultured fibroblasts, tumor specimens, or other biological specimens, as possible from advances in technology; 3) Isolation of lymphocytes, and transformation of lymphocytes and/or cryopreserved whole blood to lymphoblastoid cells using the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and 4) Expansion of lymphoblastoid or other types of cell lines up to gram quantities. Approximately 11,000 samples will be submitted to the Contractor for processing during a one year period. Note that some procedures to be performed on these samples are overlapping, resulting in 12,000 procedures estimated to be performed each year. It is anticipated that one incrementally funded, cost reimbursement, completion type contract will be awarded for a base period of three years, and two one year options. The anticipated RFP date is on or about October 18, 2002, with responses due approximately 30 days after the actual issuance date of the RFP. The RFP may be accessed via the NCI Research Contracts Branch (RCB) website: http://rcb.cancer.gov/rcb.internet/ under "Current Requests For Proposals". Award of this project is anticipated by April 30, 2003. All responsible sources may submit a proposal that shall be considered by the NCI. No collect calls will be accepted.
