PRIMARY POINT OF CONTACT: Jaddua Johnston jaddua.johnston@mail.nih.gov Phone: 240-569-0006 INTRODUCTION: THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NON-COMPETITIVE (NOTICE OF INTENT) SYNOPSIS TO AWARD A CONTRACT WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME). The Laboratory of Viral Diseases (LVD) carries out investigations of the molecular biology of viruses, the interactions of viruses with host cells, the pathogenesis of viral diseases, and host defence mechanisms. These studies are designed to increase fundamental knowledge and facilitate the development of new approaches to the prevention of treatment of disease. The goals of the Laboratory of Viral Diseases (LVD) are to determine the mechanisms used by viruses to infect cells, express and replicate their genomes, assemble infectious particles, and evade the host immune response. Basic information obtained from these studies is used to design antiviral agents and live and subunit recombinant vaccines. The LVD has a major program of research on the biology of poxviruses and the use of poxviruses to make recombinant vaccines. This work has direct importance for biodefense in view of the great similarity between vaccinia virus and variola virus, the agent that causes smallpox. Much of the research performed at the LVD utilizes the use of live imaging systems for collection of data from samples, and software analysis of that data NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE and SET ASIDE STATUS NAICS code 811210 Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance @ $34,000,000.
