- Description
- Agency/Office: National Institutes of Health Location: National, Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Rockledge Dr. Bethesda Maryland Title: Dental and oral medicine support for Sjogren's syndrome clinic Description(s): 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. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Office of Acquisitions (OA), on behalf of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive, sole source basis to Dr. Margaret Grisius, 7645 Buford Dr., Mclean, VA, 22102, to provide dental and oral medicine support for Sjogren's syndrome, for the NIDCR. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation's leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency conducting and supporting medical discoveries that improve people's health and save lives. The Molecular Physiology and Therapeudics Branch (MPTB) pursues a comprehensive bench-to-bedside program to understand the molecular basis of salivary gland function and dysfunction and to develop strategies for the diagnosis, prevention, and management of salivary gland diseases. Clinical and translational studies focus on mechanisms of, and therapies for, salivary gland dysfunction caused by head and neck irradiation and diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome. The branch has need of a part time dentist with experience in Oral Health and Sjogren's syndrome to participate in existing Sjogren protocols. The contractor shall: - Consult eight (8) to no more than twelve (12) hours per week; - Conduct oral medicine evaluations, including screening examinations, saliva collection, labia minor salivary gland biopsies and other examinations and procedures required by the current and future SSC protocols; - Report all findings to the Chief of the SSC assuring the best patient care and alerting him of any complications; - Produce a computerized record of the evaluations and procedures required by the medical records department, clinical center, NIH; - Notify the Chief of the SSC and the Research Nurse Coordinator two (2) weeks in advance of any conflicts preventing consultation on a scheduled day. Sole Source Justification: The sole source justification is based on the fact that Dr. Margaret Grisius has been performing this work for the past eleven (11) years for the NIDCR under protocol number DE000704-08 MPTB and under previous PO # HHSN268201400027P; it would be detrimental to the continuity of the research if another contractor were to take over the project. Dr. Grisius's experience and involvement in the research is invaluable to the MPTB and as such is irreplaceable; removal of Dr. Grisius would disrupt eleven (11) years of data gathering and patient relationships. Based on these facts, Dr. Grisius is the only vendor who can continue these services without interruption of current progress. The Period of Performance will be 1 (one) year with three (3) option years. Base: October 16th, 2014 - October 15th, 2015 Option Year 1: October 16th, 2015 - October 15th, 2016 Option Year 2: October 16th, 2016 - October 15th, 2017 Option Year 3: October 16th, 2017 - October 15th, 2018 The delivery point is The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), Bethesda, MD. The North American Industry Classification system (NAICS) Code is 621210, size standard $7M, Office of Dentists. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, therefore the requirements of FAR part 6, Competitive Requirements, are not applicable and the resultant purchase order will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-76 (August 2014). Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis by October 8th, 2014 at 9:00am Eastern Standard Time. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered only for the purpose of determining whether to conduct future competitive procurements. Inquiries to this announcement, referencing synopsis number: HHS-NIH-NHLBI-CSB-DE-2015-006-KEW, may be submitted to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Office of Acquisitions, COAC Services Branch, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Room 6142, Bethesda, MD 20892-7902, Attention: Kyle Wisor.
