Request for Information (RFI) - EmbraceHEALTH Clinical Research Network (EmbraceHEALTH CRN)
Solicitation # 75N94027R00002
The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued Request for Information (RFI) 75N94027R00002 to conduct market research for the establishment of the EmbraceHEALTH Clinical Research Network (CRN). The government intends to create a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support approximately five Research Consortia (RCs) and a Coordinating Center (CC). This network will focus on clinical, behavioral, and health services research, utilizing designs such as randomized controlled trials and implementation research to reduce health disparities and improve outcomes for underserved populations. The anticipated ordering period for resultant contracts is approximately five years, with specific research activities managed on a task order basis. The scope of work requires contractors to demonstrate organizational capacity and established partnerships with academic institutions, safety net health care settings, or Federally Qualified Health Centers. Key operational requirements include the ability to manage core research operations, maintain strict regulatory compliance, and establish infrastructure for the collection, processing, storage, and secure transfer of biospecimens. The government is seeking input from all interested organizations, regardless of size, under NAICS code 541715. While this RFI is for planning purposes and is not a formal solicitation, the government may use the responses to determine if the final acquisition will be a small business set-aside.
