This is a Statement of Work for award management support services for the RADx Innovation Funnel for BP MedTech Sprinter Cohort 6. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) seeks a contractor to manage pre-award and post-award activities for up to 20 biomedical research and development projects focused on medical devices to diagnose and treat nervous system disorders. The period of performance is 6 months (To Be Determined), performed offsite from NIH facilities, under a Firm-Fixed-Price contract type. Each of the anticipated 20 projects will receive $100,000 in total funding and last for 20 weeks, with award completion expected before contract end to allow for final reporting and Deep Dive presentation preparation.

The contractor's primary responsibilities are divided into two main tasks: (1) developing Standard Operating Procedures specific to each Task Order covering interactions and workflows among the Coordination Center, Commercialization Center, and Validation Center, with annual reviews and updates as needed; and (2) managing up to 20 subcontracts or agreements including preparation of pre-award documentation, collaboration on proposal review and selection, contract negotiation regarding milestones and timelines, contract execution, performance monitoring, closeout and de-obligation, and ongoing technical and administrative support. All work must comply with HHS Security and Privacy Language for Information and IT Procurements. Deliverables include monthly reports to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and annually reviewed and updated Standard Operating Procedures. Key performance indicators measure timeliness of pre-award processes, clear communications, milestone risk management, and payment processing, with offerors expected to propose additional KPIs and continuous improvement processes.

Introduction:

The goal of the latest RADx Innovation Funnel for BP MedTech is to accelerate the development of medical devices to diagnose and treat disorders involving the nervous system. To support rapid technology development, funding mechanisms must be efficient, agile, and scalable.

Responsibilities for this requirement will cover pre-award negotiations, award execution, post-award management and payments, and ongoing IT and legal resource support. Expertise in reviewing and negotiating of milestones/timelines for biomedical research and development awards is required, along with establishing terms & conditions, and execution of awards. Resources for ongoing oversight and support for milestone-based award contracts are required, including financial management capabilities to process invoices and payments. The objective of this requirement is to provide pre-award and post-award management support services to the RADx Innovation Funnel for devices to diagnose and treat disorders involving the nervous system.

Throughout the duration of the RADx Innovation Funnel, it is anticipated that up to 20 projects will be selected for funding. Each project will be supported at $100,000 total cost, and last for 20 weeks.
