About this file
This document is an amendment to a request for proposals issued by the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The amendment provides revisions to the statement of work and technical requirements, including clarifying that the contractor will not be required to provide a clinical data management system but will need to collaborate with the existing system provider. It also revises assumptions around travel costs and lists the seven clinical sites that offerors should obtain letters of commitment from for the specified protocols. Additional questions received are answered to provide guidance, such as confirming the annual meeting location and that independent security assessments will be conducted by the agency rather than the contractor.

B. This Amendment provides answers to questions received regarding this RFP. Please note that individual questions may have been combined or reworded. The responses are provided for information only as guidance to potential offerors and do not supersede any terms of the RFP, and do not revise or become part of this RFP.
Solicitation Section Reference Question Attachment 4; Task Order 1 Statement of Work;
III. Technical Requirement #7.c-e (page 4 of Attachment 4):
Requirements 7.c., 7.d., and 7.e., specific the following:
c. Provide for timely and accurate data collection, data entry, data quality assurance, retrieval of source documentation, and generation of data and safety monitoring reports.
d. Provide training for staff of subcontracted NICHD clinical and laboratory centers in data management procedures.
e. Provide for data input, editing, electronic data storage, database management, data retrieval, and statistical analysis using well-documented database management and statistical computer software programs.
1. For Task Order 1, should the Contractor assume, we will provide the clinical data management/EDC system and associated costs for the 3 IMPAACT protocols in Year 1, 4 additional IMPAACT protocols in Year 2 (cumulative total of 7), and 4 additional IMPAACT protocols in Years 3-7 (cumulative total of 11)? Or alternatively, will Frontier Science provide the clinical data management/EDC system and the Contractor will need to work collaboratively with the IMPAACT SDMC (Harvard/Frontier) to securely transmit/transfer, integrate, analyze, and report on the clinical, safety, and lab data?
ANSWER: Frontier Science will provide the clinical data management/EDC system and the Contractor will need to work collaboratively with the IMPAACT SDMC (Harvard/Frontier) to securely transmit/transfer, integrate, analyze, and report on the clinical, safety, and lab data. The Offeror will not provide the clinical data management/EDC system.
Attachment 9 – B. Travel Uniform Assumptions
1. IMPAACT meeting 125 domestic investigators X $12,000 each = $150,000
2. Please confirm if the $12,000 per investigator should actually be $1,200 (125 X $1,200 = $150,000). If it is $1,200 per attendee, the estimated travel provided by the government cost looks low for a 3-day meeting. Please confirm.
ANSWER: This was an error. The correct amount is $1,200 per investigator X 125 or $150,000. This has been corrected in Section A above in this amendment. The Government is not changing the uniform assumption for this travel.
Task Order 1 - 3. Will the government provide facilities for the annual International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials (IMPAACT) meeting? Should offerors include the cost of meeting facilities in their proposal for the IMPAACT annual meetings?
AMENDMENT NO.: 005 CONTINUATION PAGE Page 5 of 7
Solicitation Section Reference Question ANSWER: No, the cost of the facility is provided through the IMPAACT network. It is not a part of the uniform assumption costs and should not be costed in your proposal.
Task Order 1 4. What is the location of the annual International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials (IMPAACT) meeting? Does it take place in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area each year?
ANSWER: YES, Washington, D.C.
RFP Page 136, Small Business Subcontracting Plan
5. Please clarify whether offerors need to submit a separate Small Business Subcontracting Plan for each task order if the estimated amount of each task order is over $750k? Is a single Small Business Subcontracting Plan under Task Order 1 sufficient to meet the requirement?
ANSWER: The Offeror only needs to submit one Small Business Subcontracting Plan based on the ceiling of the IDIQ. The offeror may use the three task orders, as typical task orders, to calculate the subcontracting percentages for the IDIQ goals.
Task Order 1 6. Can the government provide uniform subcontracting cost assumptions for clinical sites under Task Order 1? ANSWER: The Contractor can use the clinical site total subcontracting assumptions in Attachment 9 of Amendment 2 to this RFP.
Page 48, Independent Assessment 7. Will the government reimburse the contractor/subcontractor for the cost of independent, third-party system security and privacy controls validation?
ANSWER: Independent assessment is not needed. NICHD will conduct the independent assessment.
Page 5 of Amendment 4 states that offerors must contact the sites to request letters of commitment from the NICHD sites identified on the IMPAACT website and that the NICHD sites are identified on the IMPAACT website by CRS IDs in the “5xxx” format.
8. Have these sites been informed that they should expect outreach from all possible offerors requesting these letters of commitment?
ANSWER: The seven sites that will be participating in protocols 2040 and 2024 have been informed that offerors will be requesting letters of commitment. The offerors are only required to obtain letters of commitment from these seven clinical sites. This change is amended in the RFP in Section A above. These seven sites are named in the amended Section A.
AMENDMENT NO.: 005 CONTINUATION PAGE Page 6 of 7
Solicitation Section Reference Question
9. As we would expect that all offerors will need to disclose their legal name to the sites during this outreach, is there any concern that the sites will then be privy via the outreach to all possible offeror(s) they may eventually be subcontractor to prior to award?
ANSWER: The sites were informed that this is a competitive solicitation and were requested to maintain the confidentiality of the names of offerors requesting Letters of Commitment and to not disclose or discuss this information with any other parties.
10. Is the expectation that these letters of commitment would be included by each offeror as an appendix to the technical proposal and this does not affect page count?
ANSWER: Yes, these letters are exempted from the page limit. See amended Section A of this amendment.
11. If we do not receive the signed commitment letters from all sites by the proposal due date of 22Feb23 at 4 pm US Eastern Time, shall we provide these as they are received on a rolling basis?
ANSWER: No, we cannot accept any letters after the RFP due date. Offerors must submit the proposals and any documentation or revisions so as to reach the Government office electronically by the date and time specified in the solicitation.
12. Does NICHD need to review the template commitment letter before this is sent to the sites?
ANSWER: No, offerors should send their own template letter to the sites.
13. If the sites come back during this outreach process with general questions or questions specific to the IMPAACT protocol they will be working on, to whom should we direct them?
ANSWER: Site questions regarding specific protocols are answered through the IMPAACT network. General questions may be directed to the Contracting Officer.
14. IMPAACT 2024 website states that site selection was completed in August 2022 and 14 ex-US sites were selected. Of the 14 sites selected, only 4 have a four-digit CRS ID starting
AMENDMENT NO.: 005 CONTINUATION PAGE Page 7 of 7
Solicitation Section Reference Question with the digit “5”. Is the offeror only to contact those 4 sites or all 14 sites? (Please note that the site list provided as Attachment 8 in the RFP does not match the site list on the IMPAACT 2024 website).
ANSWER: We have listed the seven sites for these two protocols in Section A of this amendment.
15. IMPAACT 2040 website states that site selection was completed in November 2022 and 4 sites each were selected in the US and in South Africa. Of the 8 sites selected, only 3 (all in the US) have a four-digit CRS ID starting with the digit “5”. Is the offeror only to contact those 3 sites or all 8 sites? (Please note that the site list provided as Attachment 8 in the RFP does not match the site list on the IMPAACT 2040 website).
ANSWER: We have listed the seven clinical NICHD sites selected by IMPAACT for these two protocols in Section A of this amendment. Offerors are asked for commitment letters only from those seven NICHD sites. Attachment 8 provides the complete list of 24 NICHD clinical research sites that currently participate in the IMPAACT network.
