The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), intends to negotiate and award a sole source purchase order to Johns Hopkins University for Rheumatologist Services for the NIDCR Dental Clinic.

This notice is not a Request for Quotations (RFQ), Request for Proposals (RFP), or Invitation for Bids (IFB). The Government does not intend to solicit competitive quotations or proposals. No solicitation package is available. Any responsible source that believes it is capable of meeting this requirement may submit a capability statement by the closing date of this notice. The Government will consider all timely capability statements solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Requirement NIDCR has a continuing requirement for a part-time Rheumatologist to support the Dental Clinical Resource Core (DCRC) and the Salivary Gland Disorders research team. The contractor shall provide clinical, research, and training support related to Sjogren’s syndrome and other rheumatologic conditions with oral manifestations, including: clinical expertise supporting research of human subject protocols, amendments, and adverse event reporting; clinical management and evaluation of patients/subjects with rheumatologic conditions associated with salivary gland pathology; participation in screening and enrollment of subjects to clinical research protocols; support to the NIDCR Dental Clinic two days per week, with one day on-site and one day off-site; and participation in research analysis, publications, presentations, and collaborative activities. The contractor shall perform these services for 832 hours annually. Minimum qualifications include: medical degree and preferably board certification in rheumatology; active U.S. medical license in good standing; extensive publication record in Sjogren’s syndrome and rheumatologic conditions with oral manifestations; and active collaboration with a dental clinical research team in salivary gland disorders. Sole Source Justification Johns Hopkins University is the only known source capable of providing the required specialized rheumatology expertise, clinical research support, and collaborative experience necessary to support the NIDCR Salivary Gland Disorders research program. The proposed source has the unique capability to provide a rheumatologist with demonstrated expertise in Sjogren’s syndrome and related rheumatologic conditions with oral manifestations, along with the ability to support ongoing clinical care, protocol development, subject enrollment, research collaboration, and training activities integral to the NIDCR mission. Award to another source would result in unacceptable delays, duplication of effort, and increased programmatic risk.
