Description The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), Genetic Epidemiology Branch (GEB), plans to procure on a sole source basis services from University of L'Aquila, Department of Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences, Via Vetoio, Coppito 2, 67100, l'Aquila, Italy, for the collection of formalin fixed tissue blocks and melanoma lesion pathology reports. This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures in FAR Part 13.106 (b)(1). The North American Industry Classification System code is 541380 the business size standard is $14.0 million. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation.

It has been determined that there is no opportunity to acquire green products or services under this contract. The Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) is an intramural research program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) that conducts population and multidisciplinary research to discover the genetic and environmental determinants of cancer and new approaches to cancer prevention. The GEB has been investigating epidemiological and genetic factors associated with melanoma risk in a case-control study of melanoma conducted at the University of L'Aquila. The purpose of this requirement is to support the collection of formalin fixed tissue blocks and related pathology reports and clinical data from melanoma cases previously examined for epidemiological and genetic variant associations with melanoma risk. The Genetic Epidemiology Branch (GEB) has successfully conducted an analysis of epidemiological and genetic factors associated with melanoma risk in a case-control study of melanoma conducted at the University of L'Aquila, Department of Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences. The GEB needs to collect melanoma tissue blocks from the same melanoma cases from which the branch has examined epidemiological and genetic risk factors, in order to correlate these data with molecular changes across tumors. The Department of Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences has great experience in following screening criteria for nevi and pigmentation characteristics and epidemiological data collection. The Department's scientists have been trained in the recognition of dysplastic nevi and melanoma as well as pathological features of melanoma lesions and can ensure continuity in the research. The Department of Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences also has surgeons that can verify the melanoma diagnoses by reviewing the pathology reports from the pathologists of the L'Aquila University. In addition, the Department's scientists have expertise in the practical aspects involved in the management of data, clinical forms, informed consents, and biospecimens according to NCI standard and operating procedures and will ensure optimal quality of the collected data. Finally, the Department of Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences has access to medical and pathological records from the same melanoma patients previously analyzed at NCI, which is pivotal to the completion of this project. Based upon these factors the Department of Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences at the University of L'Aquila is the only know contractor that can fulfill the requirements of this contract.
