D -- PROGRAMMING SUPPORT SERVICES SOL RFQ70031-ns DUE 022497 POC Patricia Haun, Contracting Officer, 301-496-8613 The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Radiation Oncology Branch (ROB) is developing new methology for the treatment of cancer. This includes new treatment strategies and new treatment techniues to enhance the survival and minimize complications of patients receiving radiation therapy as part of their cancer treatment. The ability to view the 3-dimensional effect of complex treatment plans prior to actual patient treatment is of paramount importance. As part of its research effort, ROB has been developing a highly sophisticated radiation treatment planning system. This system permits true 3-dimensional visualization of the treatment volume and of isodose distributions. It includes a number of advances tools for the mergining of diagnostic information obtained from different imaging modalities, the ability to custom design irregular fields for both stationary beams and arcs, and the ability to display differential isodose distributions and dose-volume histograms. The Wyze Development, 12806 Littleton Street, Silver Spring, MD 20960 is to provide the service due to the expertise and experience with the planning system, which currently containss over 2 million lines of source codes. Wyze Development currently employse programmers with over 3600 hours of experience in the development and design of the system. No other source, regardless of overall programming experience, can gain the necessary expertise with our system in order to permit us to complete development in the time frame of 1 year. This is not a formal solicitation. However, concerns that respond to this notice must furnish concise responses directed specifically to the requirements mentioned above. Sources demonstrating the capability to accomplish the above shall supply pertinenet information in sufficient detail to demonstrate that ability to perform. Information furnished shall include enough material to perform a proper evaluation. Respondents will not be notified of the evaluation results.
