The contract will provide AHRQ with logistical support, to include, as an average, fifteen (15) study section review meetings (grant peer reviews) per year as well as five (5) SEP (Special Emphasis Panel) meetings per year. These meetings would range in number from 5 people to 50 people per meeting, generally. The proposed contract will be a cost-reimbursement contract for a period of 5 years, broken down as a base year and four one-year options. AHRQ is seeking capability statements from potential sources from qualified small business firms under NAICS Code 541611 (size standard - $7 million) which can demonstrate the capacity to perform the required tasks of this project. When, or IF, the solicitation is issued, the offeror will be required to develop, demonstrate and evaluate the deliberative approach they propose in response to the solicitation. Capability Statements should address interested source’s capability and capacity to perform the following requirements of this project: •Support of the IRB (Institutional Review Board) process, which will require procedures, forms and documents to be developed, prepared for distribution; maintained, and updated as necessary. •Supplying logistical support (note-taking/minutes) for contract proposal peer review assessments/meetings as required by the agency for contracts that require this process. Capability Statements submitted in response to this market survey should demonstrate the Offeror’s knowledge, experience, and ability to successfully implement the Contract requirements, highlighting the Offeror’s capacity to innovate and adapt approaches reflecting the state of the art in meeting coordination and support, including “virtual meetings” (long-distance meetings via IT software – such as teleconferencing capabilities). The Project Team shall consist of a Program Manager as well as a Logistics Manager and logistics assistants – as deemed necessary and appropriate by the contractor in their proposal for the work to be done. Interested SMALL BUSINESS ONLY should submit capability statements (no more than 25 pages in length). Capability statements should be submitted by e-mail to Robert Zuhlke, Contracting Officer, at Robert.Zuhlke@ahrq.hhs.gov Capability statements must specifically address the capability and capacity to accomplish the above listed performance requirements of this notice and include references of current or past performance of similar requirements.

Generic corporate brochures which do not address the requirements of this notice will not be considered to be responsive to this market survey.
