- Description
- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. It is the intent of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to negotiate on a sole source basis with Duke University Medical Center, Duke Risk Communication Laboratory 905 W. Main St, Box 34, Durham, NC 27701 to provide a Lung Cancer Risk Survey to study participants. The vendor will prepare written materials for subjects to review, will recruit 100 participants to review the materials, will complete the interviews with all 100 subjects, and then compile the data into a data file. The purpose of the study is to evaluate materials that will convey lung cancer risk information related to GSTM1 feedback. This is in an effort to determine the best way to convey information about GSTM1 susceptibility testing so that it can be understood and interpreted by young adult cigarette smokers. The sole source determination is based upon the fact that the Duke Risk Communication Laboratory(DRCL) led by Dr. Lipkus has the unique expertise of communicating numeric risk related to genomics to lay audiences. The DRCL also has staff, computer systems, waiting area and an infrastructure all suitable for conducting social psychological research through recruitment and testing of study subjects. Lastly, they have established relationships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities(HBCU?s) that will enable recruitment of a heterogeneous sample of participants. This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and is exempt from the requirements of FAR part 6, Competition Requirements. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 561990 and the Size Standard is $6.5 Million. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
