- Description
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research (CCR), Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MLB), Clinical Immunotherapy Section (CIS), plans to procure on a sole source basis testing services to monitor identity, potency and safety as required in conformance with the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) guidelines for submission of Chemistry Manufacturing and Contrls (CMC) as part of the Investigational New Drug (IND) application from Advance Bioscience Lab, Inc. (ALB), 9800 Medical Center Drive, Bldg D, Rockville, MD 20850. This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 12 - Acquisition for Commercial Items and will be made pursuant to the authority in FAR 13.106-1 (b)(2) and 13.501-(a)(1) using simplified acquisition procedures for commercial acquisitions. The North American Industry Classification System code is 541380 and the business size standard is $14.0 Million. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. The period of performance is eight (8) months from date of award. It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. NCI/CCR/MLB/CIS runs clinical trials of recombinant immunotoxins in patients with cancer and studies issues related to these Fv-toxin molecules in the research laboratory. Ongoing clinical trials include targeting CD22 and CD25 in patients with leukemia, lymphoma, and Hodgkin's disease with the recombinant immunotoxins HA-22 and LMB-2, both of which have induced complete remissions; and targeting the antigens Lewis-y and mesothelin (SS1PE38) on solid tumors (carcinomas). Laboratory projects deal with mechanisms of toxin effectiveness and action, and also study mechanisms and prevention of toxicity to normal tissues. (SS1)(dsFv)-PE38 (SS1P), is composed of SS1, a single-chain antibody that binds tightly to mesothelin, and PE38, the translocating and ADP-ribosylating segments of the Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE) protein. PE can kill cells if it gains entry into cells. Anti-mesothelin immunotoxin SS1P is designed to attach to mesothelin on the cancer cells and allow entry of PE38, which will then destroy the cells. Contractor Technical requirements: The contractor shall: Test samples, lot FIL129J01 at 48 month time point (8/17/2014) shall be assayed along with a reference sample, provided by the NCI. Stability Assays: Required assays are shown below: Appearance and Description pH Protein concentration by A280 SEC-HPLC SDS-PAGE, silver stain reduced SDS-PAGE, silver stain, non reduced SDS-PAGE, Coomassie, reduced SDS-PAGE, Coomassie, non-reduced Endotoxin OsmolalityCRL, USP<785> Isoelectric focusingCRL, GP-C509 Container closure integrityNelson Labs, STP-0149 SterilityNelson Labs, STP-0081 Particulate matterNelson Labs, USP<788> Free (DTT) thiol contentCRL, CTM-2295 Cytotoxicity* in A431K5 cell lineNCI LMB* * Potency testing will be coordinated and results reported by the Contractor but NCI is responsible for any associated costs and ensuring a qualified lab performs the testing. Test samples, lot FIL129J01 at 60 months (8/17/2015) will be assayed along with a reference sample, provided by the NCI. Government Responsibilities: NCI will provide the Contractor with stability an electronic copy of specifications for each assay. NCI will provide vendor with an electronic copy of results from Potency assay 2 weeks after each time point above. Reporting Requirements and Deliverables: Contractor shall review completed results and compare them to stability specifications provided by NCI. Any deviation or variation observed during the execution of the assay protocols shall be documented. As stability results become available, Contractor shall issue an electronic Certificate of Analysis (CofA) for the time point and submit to NCI's Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). This notice is not a request for competitive quotation. However, if any interested party, especially small business believes it can meet the above requirement, it may submit a proposal or quote for the Government to consider. The response and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow NCI to determine if the party can perform the requirement. Responses must be received in the contracting office by 11 AM EST, on August 10, 2015. All responses and questions must be in writing and faxed to 240-276-5399 or emailed to Reyes Rodriguez, Contracting Officer via electronic mail at reyes.rodriguez@nih.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No collect calls will be accepted. In order to receive an award, contractors must be registered and have valid certification in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and the Online Representations and Certifications Applications (ORCA) through sam.gov. Reference: N02RC52676-57 on all correspondence.
