- Description
- Cerebral Hemodynamic Studies of Hypoxia and Fatigue This is an RFP in association with the Sources Sought Notice and NOI to Sole Source to Wright State University (N6264518RC00068). The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (One source) to Wright State University for Cerebral Hemodynamic Studies of Hypoxia and Fatigue. The Government's requirement is for research support from a capable institution with a large trajectory of research in Cerebral Hemodynamic Studies, mainly in regarding the physiological reaction to reduced oxygen and fatigue, and the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen associated with task performance for a collaborative research effort to execute in the greater-Dayton Ohio area the studies entitled: "Cerebral Hemodynamic Studies of Hypoxia and Fatigue" In addition, regional dynamics of activation will be observed to clarify the effect of hypoxia and fatigue on brain structures involved in the performance of cognitive and perceptual tasks. This will be a combined research effort between Naval Medical Research Unit Dayton (NAMRU-D) and the contract awardee. Requirements of the research project include per subject high resolution anatomical scans and combination functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) /arterial spin labeling scans using GRE-EPI image acquisition. Subsequent data interpretation, processing, and analysis are also required. The services to be acquired, through a collaborative effort with the contractor include manpower, knowledge, and expertise to complete fMRI data acquisition, analysis, and post processing. Additionally, fatigue manipulation of subjects will be completed onsite at the contractor's facility by trained staff and overseen by subject matter experts. Due to this collaborative nature, a requirement of this work is that the imaging and research facilities be no more than 50 miles. The data collection must be completed by the end of FY'19 in order to minimize risk of performance slips and maintain compliance with appropriation of funds and expectations of the sponsor. The period of performance is expected to be 24 months from the date of contract award. Because capable sources were not identified through either notice, NMLC intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (one source) to Wright State University (WSU) in Dayton Ohio, for the performance of the described requirement. WSU is currently the only source able to meet our research needs for the Dayton Ohio region. WSU has a large trajectory of research in Cerebral Hemodynamic Studies and maintains the required imaging and research facilities within a 50 mile radius required in order to facilitate collaboration research with the Department of Navy in Dayton Ohio. This institution is the only one with the required local approvals in place, the appropriate financial, human and technical resources, experience and organizational controls needed to accomplish the collaborative study and efforts.
