- Description
- The Department of Defense's (DoD's) Medical Chemical Defense Science and Technology Research Program is strategically managed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and executed by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) and the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD). The Medical Chemical Defense Research Program (MCDRP) focuses on the prevention of, and the provision for, chemical warfare agent casualties. The Department of Defense's Advanced Developer of chemical medical countermeasures is the Chemical Biological Medical Systems Joint Project Management Office (CBMS). Their combined mission is to protect the soldier against any chemical threat requiring a medical response. These efforts contribute significantly to the readiness and sustainment of the DoD's warfighting capability. Success on the future battlefield will depend heavily on the presence of a superior medical technology base that can respond rapidly with required countermeasures to emerging health hazards. The combined efforts of these DoD assets provide the expertise to meet the challenges of the future battlefield. Advances in military medicine also lead to important breakthroughs in civilian medicine and public health. Contract W81XWH-11-D-0002 was issued on a competitive basis with a 3-year base period, and two, 1-year option periods. The awardee for this award is Battelle Memorial Institute. The Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) award was issued to establish a contractual agreement with a chemical surety capable research facility for services performance on a task order basis. The task order contract was appropriate due to the unspecified number of research efforts for which the Government would need such a facility to augment DoD capability. In the interest of program continuity, the Government reserved the right to independently fund general overhead costs for chemical surety program maintenance as the initial task order. Use of Chemical Agents at Contractor-Owned/Contractor-Operated (COCO) Facilities is covered under Army Regulation (AR) 50-6, Chemical Surety. See website: http://www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/pdf/r50_6.pdf. Task Order 0001 was issued to Battelle Memorial Institute in April 2011 with a 3 year performance period. The service support for the chemical surety operations performed under this task order is currently managed by the Joint Project Manager Medical Countermeasure Systems (JPM-MCS). In order to complete current research being supported by the chemical surety program, Task Order 0001 requires an extension of the 3-year term through December 31, 2014. Current chemical surety operations must continue without Interruption, and remain compliant with AR 50-6, until transition of the services to a Government activity can be completed. As required by FAR 16.505(b)(2), a written limited sources justification and approval will be completed to extend the term of the task order through December 31, 2014. All responses to this Notice of Intent are due by no later than 3:00 PM EST on January 25, 2014. The POC for this action is: Scot Plank Phone Number: 410-417-2821 E-Mail Address: scot.b.plank.civ@mail.mil
