- Description
- The U.S. Army RDECOM Acquisition Center intends to award a contract to Gaia Medical Institute, LLC, 12650 Intermezzo Way, San Diego, CA 92130-2459, to continue research to develop a simple, non-invasive way to measure whole body human hydration status during military relevant scenarios. This acquisition allows the contractor to develop an analysis method and report to support hydration status monitoring in the field. Previous work conducted by the contractor under contract W91IQY-09-P-0333 determined initial saliva assay parameters. Gaia Medical Institute maintains proprietary design rights for salivary Stress Response Profiling (SRP), which was developed exclusively at the contractor's expense. This proprietary design is required for this effort since it may afford an accurate, non-invasive means of monitoring hydration status. The potential for SRP to provide the answer to non-invasive hydration status monitoring makes Gaia the only viable option in terms of technology, cost, and experience to fulfill this contract. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all comments received within five days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Purchase Request number for this acquisition is W81NLC-C-0200-3001. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541712. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code is 8731. Any inquiries about this announcement should be directed to Mr. Michael DAlessandro via e-mail, Mike.DAlessandro @us.army.mil or by facsimile, 508-233-5286 or 508-233-4998. Inquiries shall be made no later than 4:30pm, 15 September 2010.
