- Description
- This Request for Information (RFI) is in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.215-3 (Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purpose Oct 1997) and is published for planning purposes and to encourage interested Commercial Business parties capable of providing technical/medical consultant support for use by the Defense Centers of Excellence (DCoE) for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Office of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, concerning the research study for hyperbaric oxygen treatment of military personnel with psychological health or TBI indications. This RFI does not constitute an invitation for bids, a request for proposal, a solicitation, a request for quote, or an indication that the government will contract for the items provided by submitter. No solicitation exists. The government will not reimburse respondents of any costs associated with the preparation or submission of the information requested. General marketing collaterals and unsolicited proposal are not encouraged. The DCoE is sponsoring a Randomized Clinical Trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen for the treatment of Wounded Warriors who have chronic mild-to-moderate TBI. Study subjects will undergo either a series of 40 hyperbaric oxygen exposures at 1.5 atmospheres absolute (atm abs) or 40 sham exposures of room air at 1.2 atm abs over an 8 to 10 week period. Since the brain-injured subjects recruited for this clinical trial are assigned to several military installations in the continental United States, and because being away from their support structure is not ideal, mobile/portable hyperbaric chambers and chamber support staff will be placed at selected military bases where these affected Service members reside. Mobile study sites may include Camp Pendleton, CA, Camp Lejeune, NC, Fort Carson, CO, and Fort Hood, TX. Anticipated period of performance for the study is 12 to 24 months. What is expected in response to this RFI is consultant expertise offered to aid in the above study (not to perform the above study), in particular, regarding the outcome assessments. Responses must be relevant, succinct, and to the point. All interested, capable and responsible sources that wish to respond to this RFI are encouraged to provide your input to the Contracting Officer via e-mail no later than 31 August 2009. Questions may be forwarded to the Contracting Officer by e-mail only to: Thomas.Bouchard@us.army.mil. Any phone calls or FAXes will not be accepted. Responses to this RFI will not be returned.
