Amendment No. 0 RFP NIH NICHD IDD 2021 7 Page 2 of 2

Request for Proposals No. NIH NICHD IDD 2021 7 is amended as follows:

Below are the answers to questions received regarding this RFP, please note that individual questions may have been combined or reworded. The responses to inquiries are as follows:

1. The solicitation indicates that the estimated expenses for Task Order A are approximately $2,500 annually. We are uncertain if this estimate should be inclusive of indirect costs or would indirect costs be on top of the $2,500?

Answer: Yes, the Government’s estimate for Task Order A is approximately $2,500 based on the estimated effort of around 13 hours annually including indirect costs. However, this information is furnished for guidance purposes only.

2. If we are only proposing for the IDIQ and TOA, are we required to submit Attachment 12 - Protection of Human Subject Assurance Identification/IRB Certification/Declaration of Exemption, OMB Form No.

0990-0263, which requests a certification of IRB review under item #7? If so, how should the IRB enter the information for item #7 if they have not reviewed the protocol?

Answer: All Offerors must include Attachment 12 with their proposal submission. However, Offerors responding only for the IDIQ and TOA, must add a comment under item #8 stating that a certificate of IRB review and approval will be submitted at the time the organization proposes for a specific condition task order.
