R -- Development of a Database of Dietary Supplement Labels

The Office of the Director, Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), National Institutes of Health has a requirement to create an integrated system and a cohesive process that will together allow users to access dietary supplement information and ensure the database maintenance and public accessibility of all mandated dietary supplement information. The development of an application that satisfies project requirements and is user friendly will require the creation of an entire system: database structures, user interfaces, business logic, and other interactive components. Thus, understanding and defining both the technical component and the project management component and processes are an integral part of the work. The contractor will be responsible for accessing and obtaining existing dietary supplement data from sources within the public and private sectors. According, a thorough understanding of and an established relationship with dietary supplement industry non-profit associations and/or foundations that currently manage databases of dietary supplement labels is critical to this project. It is estimated that a five (05) year, cost-reimbursement completion type contract will be awarded. THE SOLICITATION WILL BE AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY ONLY.
