- Description
- Statement of Work Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to The Harvard Public Health's Center to employ novel exposure-generation systems to produce real-world PEPs exposure atmospheres and develop an integrated multi-tier experimental-computational screening approach to assess toxicological outcomes with emphasis on cardiopulmonary responses. This contract will address the following NIOSH priority goals: 1) conduct research to contribute to the understanding of the toxicology and internal dose of emerging ENMs; 2) evaluate acute and chronic effects in the lungs and in other organ systems and tissues; and 3) determine rates of clearance of these nanoparticles after pulmonary exposure and translocation to systemic organs. The contractor will employ novel exposure-generation systems to produce real-world PEPs exposure atmospheres and develop an integrated multi-tier experimental-computational screening approach to assess toxicological outcomes with emphasis on cardiopulmonary responses. The Harvard Public Health's Center for Nanotechnology and Nanotoxicology team, developed an exposure generation system, Printer Exposure Generation System (PEGS), to monitor and assess nanoparticle emissions during use of printer. This Harvard research group has conducted the PEPs research for NIOSH for several years. The current project is built on the data base created from the previous projects conducted by his research group. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete 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 procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to William Brannen at wbrannen@cdc.gov by 5:00 P.M. EST, April 6, 2016.
