View moreThe National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with the University of Bamako in Mali to provide scientific, technical, logistical, and administrative support services. This requirement supports the NIAID International Centers for Excellence in Research (ICER) program’s investigation into health crises in developing countries, specifically continuing collaborative research at the University of Science, Techniques, and Technology of Bamako. Research activities focus on malaria, filariasis, leishmaniasis, Lassa virus, HIV/TB co-infection, and other infectious diseases. The contractor will provide approximately 424 personnel across various labor categories, including scientists, biologists, midwives, data managers, and administrative staff, to maintain operations at the Mali ICER and its affiliated field sites.
The anticipated award is a five-year, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract scheduled for approximately March 27, 2018. Administrative responsibilities include executing employment contracts, managing payroll through the Mali Service Center, and ensuring compliance with local social security and income tax laws. The acquisition is classified under NAICS 541990 for All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services and PSC code R. The place of performance is Mali, and the solicitation number is NIHAO201700083.
This pre-solicitation notice, published on January 26, 2018, identifies a response deadline of February 9, 2018, at 3:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. Although the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1), capability statements from other responsible sources will be considered to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted. LaDonna R. Stewart is the designated point of contact for this requirement.
