NASA/JSC intends to purchase these services from Medical Data Science Pharma Services (MDS), one of the leaders in the field of clinical trials. MDS has a dedicated full time clinical trial staff, which is designed to attend to all the needs of a clinical trial from inception to conclusion, including doctors, nurses, nurse assistants, medical technicians, psychological support, dietary experts, project managers and contract managers. Competition is impracticable for the following reasons: (a) MDS is to conduct the clinical trial portion of FDA protocol INSCOP-001-C, which was submitted to FDA in 2006; (b) Since the proposed clinical trails is for a drug undergoing the approval process for clinical use, but has not yet been approved for this purpose by the FDA, it is imperative that the trials be in accordance with FDA guidelines. The clinical trial is an efficacy trial in prolonged-6 degree head down bed rest subjects, a condition which simulates microgravity environment, and appropriate measures must be taken to provide for the needs of the subjects. The selected facility for the trials must meet the following requirements: (a) be approved for FDA clinical trials; (b) must be in good standing with the FDA; (c) must have a staff trained in FDA clinical trial procedures; (d) must have a favorable history with industry; and (e) must have extensive experience in dealing with the FDA on behalf of contractors.
