This solicitation, numbered 75N98026R00109, is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5 with a NAICS code of 54171 and is open exclusively to small business concerns registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and the SBA Company Registry, with a valid Unique Entity Identifier. Proposals must demonstrate scientific merit without requiring preliminary data, but must clearly articulate an unmet clinical need, the targeted cancer type, a viable development path, and a plan to generate initial proof-of-concept data through well-reasoned experiments. The base R&D budget is $300,000, with an optional additional $6,500 available for technical and business assistance, resulting in a potential contract value of up to $306,500. Amendments to the original solicitation have removed all requirements related to the Data Management and Sharing Plan in Sections 5.9, 6.1, and 8.5, while all other terms, conditions, and submission deadlines remain unchanged. The proposal deadline is September 21, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, and submissions must be made electronically via the eCPS portal as a three-part package: a single PDF Technical Proposal including the required form and NIH biosketches, a completed Human Subjects and Clinical Trials Information Form (even if no human subjects are involved), and a single PDF Business Proposal with pricing details. Evaluation will assess technical acceptability, scientific rationale, and security risk as pass/fail gates, followed by a second review by NCI program staff.

Chain Reaction Innovations - Energy Technology Innovation

Solicitation # 6-BB47-P-00203-00

The Chain Reaction Innovations program, solicited under number 6-BB47-P-00203-00 and administered by Argonne National Laboratory on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy, is designed to accelerate the commercialization of early-stage physical science innovations with potential impact on U.S. energy competitiveness. This opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), not a traditional procurement contract, and is open to individual U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who serve as the technical lead. Participants gain access to Argonne’s world-class facilities, mentorship, and an ORISE fellowship for up to 24 months, with funding contingent on DOE approval and successful performance reviews. The program consists of two phases: an initial six-month Scope and Planning Phase focused on market analysis and developing a DOE-approved Intellectual Property Management Plan, followed by an R&D Phase conducted on-site at Argonne in Lemont, Illinois. Crucially, applicants must secure a license or option to any background intellectual property essential to their project within one year, or face program termination. Eligibility is strictly defined: individuals with more than $2 million in private equity funding are excluded; current Argonne employees must terminate employment or take approved entrepreneurial leave; and any affiliation with Argonne, UChicago Argonne LLC, or the University of Chicago requires an Organizational Conflict of Interest management plan. Application materials must be non-proprietary and submitted exclusively through the online portal at chainreaction.anl.gov, including a one-page resume and a five-page technical deck. Proposals are evaluated holistically based on the technical strength and outcome orientation of the project leader, the potential economic impact and technical merit of the innovation, and its alignment with DOE’s mission space — with no formal cost or pricing data provided, as the program is an incubation initiative rather than a purchased service. The evaluation does not follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable model, instead favoring a trade-off approach that prioritizes innovation, feasibility, and strategic alignment. Access to program benefits is entirely contingent on CRADA execution, compliance with DOE directives on foreign national access, and continued performance through mandatory milestone reviews, particularly the year-one midpoint review.

Full Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE This requirement is for (supplies/services) in which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one-source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all responses received within seven (7) days of the issuance of this notice will be reviewed. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any response should be emailed to the contract specialist at ycf1@cdc.gov by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on June 30, 2020. Scope of Work; The purpose of the proposed study is to estimate the medical expenditure in years before and years after a person is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes by her/his baseline glucose and/or A1c levels. Longitudinal follow-up data from Optum de-identified Normative Health Information (dNHI) database are the most appropriate data for this analysis as such data contain both health care utilization or cost and glucose measurements for their populations. Glucose measurements from lab tests are needed for the study to establish the baseline risk of type 2 diabetes. Using longitudinal data and grouping persons without diagnosed diabetes by their baseline risk levels of developing type 2 diabetes can overcome the two potential estimate biases available from the current literature by allowing (1) persons who do or do not develop diabetes and persons with different risk levels of developing type 2 diabetes who have different trajectories in medical expenditures. At least three cohorts of persons without diagnosed diabetes, i.e., those at the low, intermediate, and high-risk level of developing type 2 diabetes shall be created and followed. The follow-up time shall be at least ten years (i.e., 5 years prior and 5 years after the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes) to get a reliable estimate.
