IMMUNOLOGIC LABORATORY TESTING OF HIV-INFECTED HEMOPHILIAC CHILDREN NIH GUIDE, Volume 24, Number 33, September 22, 1995 RFP AVAILABLE: NICHD-CRMC-95-21 P.T. 34 Keywords: Blood Diseases Immunology AIDS PHYSIOLOGICAL/DEVELOPMENT PROCESS National Institute of Child Health and Human Development The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) is planning to award a contract for the conduct of laboratory testing to study the immunologic status of hemophiliac children who have been infected with HIV. The results of the battery of tests prescribed by the Project Officer will be incorporated into the database for the ongoing Hemophilia Growth and Development Study (HGDS). The HGDS examines the physical growth and development as well as the immunologic and neurodevelopmental status of the participants in a longitudinal fashion. At the present time, samples for immunologic testing are gathered from study participants from 14 U.S. clinical centers. Samples are stored at a central repository at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and aliquots will be sent to a central laboratory for immunologic testing. The previous contractor for the immunologic laboratory testing for the HGDS was Associated Regional and University Pathologists (ARUP) in Salt Lake City, Utah. The successful contractor must have the resources or access to the resources needed to conduct laboratory testing and process data in a format that is compatible with the Data Coordinating Center for the HGDS, i.e., ASCII formatted with IBM PC compatibility delivered in a format that could be readily loaded into a data base. The Request for Proposals (RFP) will present detailed information on the tests to be conducted and the appropriate forms to be completed for purposes of the study. It is anticipated that one to three awards will be made for this acquisition; offerors may respond to all or portions of the Statement of Work. The issuance of this RFP will be on or about October 2, 1995 and proposals will be due by 4:00pm (Eastern Daylight Time), on December 4, 1995.
