National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

The purpose of this contract is to evaluate the toxicologic and 
carcinogenic potential of selected chemicals to which humans are 
exposed in the workplace or at home.  This project include 14-day, 90-
day, 26-Week,  and 2-year studies of 3-Picoline, Cumene Hydroperoxide, 
N,N-Dimethyl-P-Toluidine, Gingko Biloba Extract, and Pyrogallol.  The 
base contract award shall consist of those work activities associated 
with determination of bulk chemical purity and identity, and validation 
of dose formulation/analysis methods, any health and safety concerns 
that must be addressed before study start, and other aspects 
specifically included in Phase 1 for Task 1 (3-Picoline), Task 2 
(Cumene Hydroperoxide), Task 3 (N,N-Dimethyl-p-toluidine),  Task 4 
(Gingko Biloba Extract), and Task 5 (Progallol).  The Government may, 
pending the availability of funds exercise options for: 90-day study 3-
Picoline, a two-year study of 3-Picoline (dosed water)  (Task 1); 14-
Day Study of Cumene Hydroperoxide, 90-day study of Cumene 
Hydroperoxide, 26-Week Study of Cumene Hydroperoxide, and a two-year 
study of Cumene Hydroperoxide (deremal) (Task 2); 90-day study of N,N-
Dimethyl-p-toluidine, a two-year study of N,N-Dimethyl-p-toluidine  
(gavage) (Task 3); 90-day study of Gingko bilobao extract, two-year 
study of Gingko biloba extract (gavage) (Task 4);and 14-Day Study of 
Pyrogallo, 90-Day Study of Pyrogallo, 26-Week Study of Pyrogallol and  
two-year study of Pyrogallol (dermal) (Task 5).  These studies shall be 
conducted according to the Specifications for the Conduct of Studies to 
Evaluate the Toxicologic and Carcinogenic Potential of Selected 
Chemicals in Laboratory Animals for the National Toxicology Program 
(NTP) dated June 2000.  Award of one cost-reimbursement completion 
contract on January 22, 2003, on an open competition basis is 
contemplated as a result of this solicitation.  The estimated level of 
effort is 1,760 labor hours for the base contract and 148,652 labor 
hours for all options.  The estimated period of performance is 
approximately 52 months.  Interested organizations should request 
either a streamlined or full RFP package by written, telephonic (919)
