- Description
- The Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) intends to negotiate for a multiple-year contract with Cornerstone Systems Northwest under the Authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) Unique Capabilities based on Cornerstone?s unique modeling experience, as well as their capabilities in both knowledge management software, and simulation and mathematical modeling. To perform the requirements of this contract, the Contractor must be well versed in two disparate areas: (a) knowledge management software: demonstrated knowledge and experience to customize knowledge management tools for use in simulation and mathematical modeling to study the impact of cancer control interventions on population trends; and (b) simulation and mathematical modeling: demonstrated knowledge and experience to understand the CISNET models in enough depth to take information on particular aspects of the models and develop a coherent synthesis of model differences and similarities. Cornerstone Systems Northwest, Inc. has provided support, maintenance and enhancements of a centralized web-based collaborative application known as the Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Network (CISNET) Collaborative Knowledge Base under contract number N02-PC-44400. The proposed contract will permit Cornerstone to continue providing (1) Logistical, Technical and Basic Consortium Support; (2) Capabilities Enhancement; (3) Meeting Support and Participation; (4) Model Profile Maintenance and Development; (5) Model Interface Systems; (6) Model Synthesis Support; (7) Hardware and Software Support; and (8) Model Registration and Discovery System. Interruption of these activities while another contractor gains the knowledge required to provide these modeling services to the CISNET Collaborative Knowledge Base collaborators would lead to a paralysis of continuity and enhancements; meeting support and participation; and maintenance and development of the CISNET Collaborative Knowledge Base for its collaborators. Therefore, the Government has determined that Cornerstone Systems Northwest, Inc. is the only source to satisfy agency requirements to avoid these unacceptable delays. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement and must respond by submitting the information on/before the closing date noted in this announcement. Organizations that submit capability statements in response to this announcement must demonstrate knowledge and experience in both Internet based collaborative knowledge databases and simulation modeling. Organizations that submit capability statements in response to this announcement must demonstrate their ability to assume the work without unnecessary delay and duplication of cost and effort. See Government-Wide Numbered Note 22. No collect calls will be accepted. Point of Contact Donna M. Perry-Lalley, Contract Specialist, Phone 301-435-3776 (current phone number), Fax 301-402-8579, Email perryd@mail.nih.gov.
