Description
NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to issue sole-source firm-fixed priced award contract, to Genomic Health, INC, 301 Penobscot Dr, Redwood City, CA 94063. A sole source procurement will be issued to Genomic Health, INC to perform special cancer tests such as Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay, the Oncotype DX Colon Cancer Assay and the Oncotype DX Prostate Cancer Assay, which are trademarked tests by Genomic Health. The required testing will analyze the activity of a group of genes that can affect how a cancer is likely to behave and respond to treatment. Testing results need to show how complex genes are expressed in cells (what their level of activity is), and the role they play in specific cancers including breast, colon, and prostate. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The NAICS code is 611430 and has a size standard of $20.5 Million for this procurement. Requirements TVHS needs a vendor to perform the following special cancer tests: Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay, the Oncotype DX Colon Cancer Assay and the Oncotype DX Prostate Cancer Assay, which are trademarked tests by Genomic Health. The required testing will analyze the activity of a group of genes that can affect how a cancer is likely to behave and respond to treatment. Testing results need to show how complex genes are expressed in cells (what their level of activity is), and the role they play in specific cancers including breast, colon, and prostate. TVHS will only accept tests of equivalent or higher performance to the Oncotype DX test. Equivalent tests must show clinical evidence and at least three years on the market in labs (outside of research purposes). The VA TVHS requires testing that has been reliable for years and will not risk be experimenting with newer specialized cancer tests unless evidence guarantees greater benefits to Veterans. The requested tests have been proven to predict the likelihood of cancer recurrence, the likelihood of patient survival and the likelihood of chemotherapy benefit. These unique diagnostic tests can help patients and their doctors make informed, individualized treatment decisions. Results will also help clinicians determine if the patient needs to undergo chemotherapy treatment or not, saving the VA thousands of dollars in treatment costs. Specific Tasks (Evaluation Factors). The Reference Laboratory shall provide in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, laws, and ordinances, and in accordance with the specifications outlined for accreditation certification if applicable, patient testing to aid in the treatment of cancer. Estimated quantities of tests will depend upon patient specifics. Vendor must offer all tests listed in the test menu below. TVHS will only accept tests of equivalent or higher performance to the Oncotype DX test.
