D--Web Portal Subscription to Thomson Reuters (Scientific)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Research and Development (ORD), National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) intends to award a twelve-month, sole source purchase order (PO) for an annual subscription for GeneGo Metacore web portal access, including three (3) concurrent seats, with Thomson Reuters (Scientific), Incorporated. NCEA is planning to use the software suites for the screening and prioritization of chemicals as part of a United States Congress? mandated EPA Hydraulic Fracturing Study. NCEA risk assessors require state of the art quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) software that includes prediction of protein targets and mode of action. EPA has determined that the combination of GeneGo MetaCore, GeneGo MetaDrug, GeneGo MapEditor and GeneGo ToxHunter software are unique web-based applications that no other current contractor possesses. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION OR A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION; however, any firm that believes it is capable of providing the same web-based application software to screen and prioritize chemicals may respond to this notice within ten (10) calendar days from the date of this publication notice by submitting its capabilities to Lin Pinskey via email at [email protected]. No telephone inquiries or responses will be accepted or considered. All questions and/or responses must be in writing.
