This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Epidemiology Unit, intends to negotiate on an other than full and open basis with Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, Center for Health and Research Hawaii, to procure limited data set looking at specific racial/ethnic subgroups identified in previous research predicting population disease patterns for nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM PD).

Kaiser Permanente Hawaii (KPH) is an integrated health care management organization, with linked demographic, clinical, and microbiologic data for their beneficiaries. They serve approximately one-third of the population of Hawaii, providing a wealth of data on a large portion of the population there, with 373,168 beneficiaries during the period 2005-2013. Thus, the KPH data is unique in representing a population that is high risk due to both environmental factors and racial\ethnic subgroups for nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM PD).

The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C. 1901 (a) (1) as implemented by FAR 13.106-1 only one responsible source and no other supply of service will satisfy agency requirements. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. All responsible sources that could provide comparable services may submit a capability statement that will be considered by email (subject line to reference NOI-RML-D-1973540) to Dana Monroe at [email protected], by 5:00 pm eastern standard time Friday, June 21, 2019. All responses received by the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
