- Description
- The Surveillance Research Program within the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, intends to solicit and negotiate a proposed contract action for services with only one source, the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, Inc. (NAACCR), under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to continue with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive acquisition. The work under this acquisition focuses on three specific areas: 1) Strengthening the national capacity for collecting, analyzing, and using comparable cancer registry data for cancer surveillance and research; 2) Developing and improving methods for assessing the quality and comparability of cancer registry data. This includes, but is not limited to timeliness, completeness, and accuracy; and, 3) Improving the efficiency and quality of registry operations through promoting established standards, disseminating technical information, and facilitating collaboration among Federal, state, provincial and local registry professionals. As an established collaborative professional society whose members are interested in the development and application of population-based cancer registration and surveillance research techniques to studies of defined population groups and to the conduct of cancer control programs, NAACCR provides a unique forum in which to advance the capacity for national cancer surveillance. NAACCR is a national not-for-profit educational organization whose membership consists of central cancer registries representing the United States and Canada with endorsement from sponsoring organizations including the American Cancer Society, American College of Surgeons, American Joint Committee on Cancer, Canadian Association of Provincial Cancer Agencies, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Program of Cancer Registries, College of American Pathologists, National Cancer Registrars Association, and the Public Health Agency of Canada. It has the ability to bring together cancer registry standard-setting organizations, central cancer registries, hospital cancer registries, and software developers; to utilize their member's cancer registration subject matter expertise to develop data item definitions, codes, format, transmission record layouts, and timeline for implementation of new standards; to organize their members into committees and workgroups which through consensus develop and promote best practices for registry operations and uniform data standards for cancer registration in North America; and to harness resources among the members to implement agreed upon agendas. No collect calls will be accepted.
