- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), Fort Detrick, MD intends to issue a sole source award utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures to the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, University of Texas at San Antonio, One UTSA Circle, San Antonio TX 78249. Non-personal support services are required to assist ISR to evaluate the effects of low temperature storage on platelets for transfusion. The services include evaluation of platelet hemostatic function under shear stress using a rheometer to mimic in-vivo blood flow forces, evaluation of the viscoelastic properties of blood clots via rheological properties, storage and loss moduli, and complex viscosity, SEM imaging of formed clots, and changes in platelet receptor glycosylation. UTSA was chosen for this study because of its proximity to ISR, temperature control is paramount to the success of this study, also because platelets respond to movement and vibration the provided samples can only be moved a short distance to keep the validity of the study. This notice of intent is for information purposes only. All sources eligible to provide this service must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly articulate the ability to provide services outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses are received, within 15 days after publication of this notice, to the effect that comparable services are available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining these services through a sole-source contract, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. Response to this notice is to be sent to john.fitzsimmons@us.army.mil.
