- Description
- The United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), Fort Detrick, Maryland in support of the US Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) is issuing this notice of intent to procure services via Sole Source through the award of a firm-fixed price, level-of-effort term contract to the University of Miami. Under the contemplated service, the University of Miami-Medical Research Administration, 1400 NW 10th Avenue, Miami, FL 33136-1000, will conduct a research study to determine the effectiveness of novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) at reducing the biofilm load in wounds and improving healing. Specifically, the University of Miami will use its unique porcine wound model to study biofilm-impaired wound healing and to evaluate anti-biofilm treatments. Unique features of the model distinguish it from other pig and small animal biofilm models: Quantification of healing parameters including viable bacterial counts, epithelialization and granulation tissue formation. Similar results to human results for biofilm treatments such as the prescription topical Mupirocin Ointment, and over-the-counter topical Triple antibiotic Ointment. Reproducibility and adaptability for testing anti-biofilm agents using multiple topical antibiotic delivery platforms such as polymers, gels, and dressing. Has been used extensively for the past 8-10 years by pharmaceutical industries. Considered the industry standard for testing new investigational antimicrobial/antibiofilm agents. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTATIONS. Responsible, interested parties may identify their interest by submitting capability information by Friday, 19 September 2014 at 4:00 PM Central Daylight Time in order to establish the ability of the responder to meet this requirement. A determination by the Government to not compete this proposed contract based upon responses received to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered for the sole purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government will not be responsible for any costs associated with preparing responses to this notification. All inquiries must be submitted via email to terry.g.bice.civ@mail.mil. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted.
