- Description
- The Radiation Epidemiology Branch (REB) of the Division of Cancer and Genetics (DCEG) Program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is recompeting a requirement to continue dosimetry support services for epidemiologic studies of populations exposed to ionizing radiation, conducted by the REB. The current contract is held by University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, N02-CP-55503. This support is essential to REB’s ability to quantify radiation risks and provide information on dose-response relationships. The contractor shall evaluate the radiotherapy records collected by the REB and determine whether the data are adequate to calculate organ doses and provide organ doses for individual study subjects to the REB for analysis. The contractor shall provide the support necessary to make measurements on anthropomorphic phantoms, water phantoms, and/or use mathematical phantoms or computerized treatment planning programs or other resources in order to reconstruct radiation doses to specific organs following medical exposures. The contractor shall: (1) assess and recommend the manner in which physical dosimetry can be best applied to the epidemiologic studies of interest, (2) coordinate dosimetry data collected or prepared by other collaborators who are participating in our studies, (3) estimate doses to designated organs or sites within organs, (4) compare various dosimetry methods to validate consistency and accuracy of estimated doses, (5) report doses to NCI, along with an indicator of the quality of radiotherapy information, and (6) provide dosimetry data to REB to conduct methodologic studies to evaluate the potential biases and uncertainties in the dose estimates. This is a recompetition of a previous requirement, and the Government anticipates that one (1) contract will be awarded. The anticipated period of performance is for one Base Year and four 1-year Option Periods. The Government’s estimated requirement of 5,000 hours per year, for a total of 25,000 labor hours. It is anticipated that the Request for Proposal (RFP) package will be available on or about December 16, 2009 with responses due within 30 calendar days following the actual issuance date of the RFP. Award of this project is anticipated on or about April 15, 2010. All responsible sources may submit a proposal that shall be considered by the NCI. No collect calls will be accepted.
