- Description
- NA The intent is to negotiate on an Other Than Full and Open Competition basic with Pennington Biomedical Research Laboratory (PBRL) for scientific and professional consultative and technical laboratory services to support The Military Operational Medicine Re search Program's biomedical research program on military operational nutrition. This research program consists of basic and applied research to identify nutritional strategies to optimize Warfighter health and performance. Research is conducted by invest igators at the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine and uses both animal models and human volunteers in experimental studies. Experiments aim to assess nutritional status of test subjects during exposure to stress and nutritional interve ntions, and involve measuring appearance, disappearance and steady-state levels of metabolites, nutrients and other biochemical substances in various human and animal tissue samples, complemented by measurements of dietary and nutrient consumption of volun teer military personnel engaged in garrison or operation training. The PBRL Clinical Laboratory for Human and Food Samples will receive and process samples of biological material, to include human and animal tissues and food samples for subsequent biochem ical analyses as determined required by USARIEM investigators in consultation with PBRL laboratory personnel. PBRL scientists will advise USARIEM investigators regarding sample collection procedures and assist with interpretation and preparation of analyt ical results for publication in professional journal and presentation in scientific symposia. The PBRL Stable Isotope Laboratory will provide laboratory analytical and professional scientific support for the conduct of experimental procedures involving th e use of various stable isotope-labeled substances in the measurement of whole body energy expenditure, protein turnover, carbohydrate and fat oxidation in humans. PBRL scientific staff will advise USARIEM investigators during research planning, collabora tively conduct experimental procedures and subsequent analytical laboratory analyses of isotopic enrichment, and assist in the interpretation of results for scientific presentation and publication. The PBRL Nutrient Database Integration Laboratory will as sist USARIEM investigators in assessing food intake of military subject populations during both in-house laboratory and garrison or field research studies, and the subsequent conversion of recorded food intake data into nutrient intake data. The period of performance shall be for five years. No telephone requests. Any offeror purporting to be able to furnish the requirement in accordance with the conditions stated herein must submit a written response demonstrating such capability.
