- Description
- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE ORDER AND NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS. The National Center For Advancing Transltional Sciences (NCATS), Rockville, MD�intends to negotiate on a sole source basis and issue an order with OTAVA, LTD, under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This purchase is of Screening Compounds from OTAVA�s SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRp) Targeted Library for newly established Antiviral Program for Pandemics. Screening is often the starting point in our development and a wealth of knowledge is obtained from screening a diverse collection. It provides the starting point of all information for medicinal chemistry�s structure-activity relationship (SAR) design to synthesize novel compounds that have more desirable properties. A diverse and novel screening collection provides the backbone of our operation and is imperative for translational sciences to obtain effective small molecules with on-target effects. These small molecules have been designed around analysis of available chemical and biological information, identification of key pathways modules/targets, computational and �wet biology� assessment of target druggability and potential binding domains. The resulting information is analyzed by synthetic and medicinal chemistry teams to bring new chemical diversity and to design unique scaffolds that are likely to interact with the designated targets yielding focused compound libraries. Having such small molecules will make a huge impact in our screening against the variety of targets that NCATS works on and will also help tremendously in bioinformatics analysis which will allow a more thorough and effective SAR expansion by the medicinal chemist. Screening compounds from OTAVA�s SARS-CoV-2 RNA=dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRp) Targeted Library � 1017 samples Weighing Out DMSO sample preparation and electronic data preparation -1017 samples �� Award is subject to approval of the Sole Source Justification. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotations; however, an interested party may submit a statement of capabilities if they believe they can meet the above requirement. The statement of capabilities must be submitted in writing and contain sufficient detail to allow the Government to determine if the party can provide the requirement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. All responses must be received within 10 days from the date of publication of this synopsis. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 10 days of this notice, an award will be made to OTAVA,LTD. The NAICS Code �541715� . This procurement is to be processed using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. There is no solicitation package available. No faxed documents will be accepted. For any questions regarding this announcement, please contact Karen Elmore�via email: karen.elmore@nih.gov
