The National Institute on Drug Abuse plans to solicit proposals from qualified organizations having in-house capabilities and experience to perform testing of compounds in the rat self-administration test for assessment as potential pharmacotherapies for drugs of abuse including stimulants and hallucinogens. In addition, the capability and experience to assess compounds for the ability to maintain self-administration behavior will be required. Proprietary compounds will be evaluated using established protocols, and the resulting data will be utilized by the Treatment Discovery Programs of the NIDA Division of Pharmacotherapies and Medical Consequences of Drug Abuse (DPMC). Data generated by these activities will be utilized by NIDA in the selection of compounds for additional preclinical efficacy and safety evaluation. In addition, data generated under this agreement will sometimes be provided by NIDA to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to support scheduling recommendations for new street drugs .
In order to handle substances under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, it is mandatory that interested entities possess a DEA Research Registration for Schedules II to V and demonstrate the capability to obtain a DEA registration for Schedule I controlled substances. All offerors must comply with NIH guidelines on the care and use of laboratory animals. We anticipate the award of one cost reimbursement contract for a base period of five years. The contract will include additional quantity options. RFP No. N01DA-5-8853 will be available electronically on or about March 18, 2005 . You will access the RFP through the FedBizOpps (URL: http://www.fedbizopps.gov) or through the NIDA website: (URL: http://www.nida.nih.gov/RFP/RFPList.html).
