A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

The associated NAICS code is 541380 and small business size standard is 12.0M. This is not set-aside and is being negotiated as a sole source procurement. The requirement for this acquisition includes the following: EST.EST. ITEM QTYUNITUNIT COSTTOTAL COST 1880HRS$__________$__________ 1. Univ of Iowa Department of Internal Medicine to Provide necessary labor and materials to conduct experiments involving: 1. Test the hypothesis that focal Purkinje VT/VF due to TA may be selectively: a.Blocked by inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase and metabolites of mevalonic acid b.Facilitated by endogenous angiotensin (AGII) and blocked by AG converting enzyme inhibitors and AT1 and AT2 receptors c.Facilitated by endothelin (ET) and blocked by ET-a antagonists d.Ablated with a focal endocardial radiofrequency as effectively as blocked by UK14, 304. 2.The methodology to be utilized involves computerized activation mapping of multiple transmural bipolar electrograms incorporating Purkinje signals recorded from 16 pole needles placed in the risk zone of the anterior descending coronary artery. Background: Dr. Martin's lab, in collaboration with the University of Iowa Department of Internal Medicine, have proven the hypothesis that focal Purkinje VT inducible in the dog is associated with triggered activity (TA) due to delayed after depolarizations recordable in excised sites of origin of that ventricular tachycardia (VT). The correlation between VT and TA is clear for beta-adrenergic blockade and a-2 adrenergic agonists but blockers of calcium and potassium channels and other adrenergic receptors are not effective in blocking either in vitro VT or in vivo TA.
