View moreThe Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contract Office 01, issued solicitation 36C24122Q0705 as a special notice of intent to sole source Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) and Institutional Biosafety Committee for Clinical Gene Transfer (IBC CGT) services from Dartmouth College. This requirement supports the White River Junction Veterans Affairs Medical Center (WRJVAMC) in maintaining compliance with an executed Memorandum of Understanding. The Dartmouth College committees, managed by the department of Environmental Health and Safety, review WRJVAMC protocols involving recombinant or synthetic nucleic acids to ensure adherence to NIH Guidelines. This oversight is mandated by VHA Handbook 1200.08 because the WRJVAMC lacks the internal expertise necessary to constitute its own committees.
The acquisition is classified under NAICS 611310 Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools and PSC AB21 COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT R&D SERVICES; AREA AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT; BASIC RESEARCH. The vendor provides qualified committee members who report findings to the WRJVAMC Subcommittee for Research Safety, which requires prior IBC or IBC CGT approval before protocols are authorized. Compensation terms include an annual three percent increase, with the performance work statement covering 40 hours of service per 12-month period. Any labor exceeding this 40-hour threshold requires a contract modification to facilitate additional hourly payments. One attachment, a document titled 36C24122Q0705.docx, was published with the notice on June 24, 2022.
