FOLLOW-UP OF THE MULTIMODAL TREATMENT STUDY OF CHILDREN WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER Release Date: April 24, 2000 NOTICE: MH-00-008 National Institute of Mental Health The NIMH proposes to issue solicitation No. NIMH-00-DS-0004 and intends to make sole source awards to continue an ongoing Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (MTA). The NIMH plans to award a five-year cost-reimbursement contract with a two-year option to each of the following clinical sites which make up the MTA Group: NYU Child Study Center, New York, NY, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, University of Pittsburgh, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, Pittsburgh, PA, University of California at Irvine, Irvine, CA, and McGill University, Montreal Children’s Hospital, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The initial study was funded through Cooperative Agreements that were competitively awarded to the clinical sites indicated above. A major gap in our knowledge of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the lack of adequate data on the long-term effects that ADHD treatments have on children. The initial MTA study sample offers a unique opportunity to follow-up, over time, on children with ADHD who received different treatment modalities. The follow-up study will explore the long- term impact of treatment on variables such as incidence of psychopathology, substance use and abuse, antisocial behavior and academic achievement as well as the utilization of mental health and medical services. The applicable statutory authority authorizing sole source procurement is 41 USC 253(c)(1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1. Inherent duplication of cost to the Government and unacceptable delays in completing the study make competition unfeasible for this follow-up Phase. Request for Proposal (RFP) No. NIMH-00-DS-0004 will be available on or about April 28, 2000, and the receipt date for proposals will be on or about June 26, 2000. The RFP may only be accessed electronically through the NIMH Contracts Page located at http://www.nimh.nih.gov/grants/indexcon.cfm. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within forty-five days after date of publication of this announcement will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. INQUIRES For questions or further information, contract: Robert D.
