- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source modification to 75D30123C17464 to Abt Associates to conclude 5 years of PFAS Multi-site Study Data Analysis/Management and Laboratory Coordination. The contractor is expected to coordinate data management/analysis and laboratory coordination activities amongst all seven recipients at the direction of the ATSDR PI and in accordance with the approved protocol. Data management includes variable review, manipulation, creation of derived variables per ATSDR specification and implementation of the QA/QC procedures with the goal to build the study dataset that has research variables to be used in the statical data analyses of data preparation of reports and study peer-reviewed manuscripts. Abt Associates are critical for providing follow-up services related to ongoing PFAS Multi-site Study, a 6-year study. The government and CoAg holders are finishing year 6 out of 6, having completed the 5th year. Due to the complexities of the laboratory coordination, database compilation and management (tens of thousands of variables), and intricate scientific collaboration across seven cooperative agreements, Abt is the only vendor who can continue work on the 6-year PFAS Multi-site study project. Now that the Cooperative Agreements are continuing for another year, it is crucial that Abt also get to do additional work to ensure their support continues. This is also why Abt is critical in this phase, as switching vendors in year 6 of a 6-year project after Abt has been supporting this CoAgs for the last 4 years would risk critical performance failure. This is a critical time in the 6-year project life cycle as the cooperative agreement partners and the ATSDR PI are working to finalize all project requirements. 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.3304(a)(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 contract specialist at dsmythe@cdc.gov by 8/29/2024 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time.
