D -- ADP SUPPORT SERVICES FOR CANCER INFORMATION DISSEMINATION POC Crystal Linder, (301) 496-8611 E-MAIL: Crystal Linder, c175w@nih.gov. The National Cancer Institute intends to negotiate with United Information Systems, inc. for an increase in their level of effort on contract N02-CO-40505, ADP Support Services for Cancer Information Dissemination. The contractor will provide analysis and programming support for the integration of new enhancements to the existing PDQ and Rare Diseases Clinical Research Database user interfaces and maintenance processes. Authority: 41USC 253 (1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1 which refers to only one responsible source. The duplication of effort and extensive coordination which would result in having this work performed by two sources makes competition unfeasible. The closing date for receiving the capability statements will be 45 days from the date of publication of this synopsis in the CBD. See numbered Note 22. (0015)
