Background: The Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), National Cancer Institute (NCI) conducts broad-based, high quality, high impact research to uncover the causes of cancer and the means of its prevention. DCEG maintains a national and international perspective, giving priority to emergent issues identified through epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory observations, as well as to public health concerns identified by the NCI, Congress, regulatory agencies, and other appropriate bodies. The Division develops research resources and strategic partnerships in cancer epidemiology and genetics across NCI, National Institutes of Health (NH), and the global research community. Purpose and Objectives: The goal of this acquisition is to identify biomedical data computing services in support of the ongoing research programs conducted in DCEG and other divisions of the NCI. DCEG programs include domestic and international studies with diverse study designs in epidemiology and genetics research including prospective cohort studies, case-control studies, family studies, and randomized clinical trials. These studies span several geographic areas (potentially in any continent), are of varying size and complexity, and include dense, high-dimensional data on exposures, endpoints, clinical information, and biomarkers from molecular technologies. Potential suppliers for this service will have experience providing biomedical computing, using large datasets containing disparate types of interconnected data on environmental, lifestyle, genetic and molecular information from healthy and diseased populations. Independently and not as an agent of the Government, the Contractor shall furnish all the necessary services, qualified personnel, materials, equipment, and facilities, not otherwise provided by the Government as needed to perform the work as defined below. The Contractor shall coordinate and integrate all activities including staffing decisions, prioritizing support for projects, and managing and monitoring any subcontracts for task orders which will include one or more of the task areas as defined below. As much as possible, the management of data assets and configuration of computational services should be programmatically interoperable with NCI cloud infrastructure. Project Requirements: Task Area A: Contract Initiation/Kick-Off The goal of this Task Area is to establish the necessary integrated infrastructure and procedures for effective communication for the period of the contract. Task Area B: Biomedical Data Modeling, Data Acquisition and Management Under Task Area B, the Contractor shall perform all activities necessary to provide biomedical data management support including manual and automated secure and standardized processes to enter, store and retrieve data and documents for research studies. This support may include, but is not limited to, studies which: a) vary by size and study design; b) include diverse data variables from diverse sources; and c) involve data exchange with multiple collaborators/repositories. Task Area C: Data Analytics, Statistical and Bioinformatic Analysis and Tool Development Under Task Area C the Contractor shall perform all activities necessary to provide statistical programming, analytic support and tool/software development for NCI research studies. Additional Information: The Government anticipates multiple, Indefinite Delivery Indefinity Quantity (IDIQ) contracts will be awarded for these Research & Development services with an anticipated ordering period of September 2025 ¿ September 2035. The NAICS code is 541511 - Custom Computer Programming Services. The solicitation will be available electronically at a later date and may be accessed through Contract Opportunities at www.SAM.gov. WE ENCOURAGE ALL RESPONSIBLE SOURCES, PARTICULARLY SMALL BUSINESSES, TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL WHICH WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE AGENCY. This notice does not commit the Government to award a contract. No collect calls, facsimile or email transmissions will be accepted. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the above-mentioned site for the release of the solicitation and any amendments.
