- Description
- Intent to Award Sole Source FY2016 Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program (JWMRP) The United States Army Medical Research Acquisitions Activity (USAMRAA), on behalf of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC), is issuing this notice of Intent to Award Sole Source. This is not a request for proposals. This notice does not represent a commitment by the government to pay for costs incurred from the preparation and/or submission of data in response to this notice. This is a notice of the intent to award eight sole source contracts to seven contractors that met the criteria of the FY2016 Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program (JWMRP) in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Information regarding the intended sole source awards is listed below. DocBox, Inc. Description: This project is a continuation of a contract titled "Integrating Clinical Technologies for Military Health". The Integrated Clinical Environment (ICE) is an IT platform addressing critical clinical and operational needs of the Defense Health Agency. This contract will develop tools (apps) to be used on this ICE platform. The contract will outline how these technologies will be developed, tested in a pre-clinical test lab, and rapidly deployed to a patient care environment. Geneva Foundation Description: This project is a continuation of a contract titled "Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to Reduce the Prophylactic Fasciotomies for and Missed Cases of Acute Compartment Syndrome in Solders Injured in OEF/OIF". Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has been evaluated to monitor and diagnose Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS), which can result in an increased risk of limb amputation and mortality. This contract will produce a fully validated, FDA-approvable and combat ready ACS decision support tool. Sonivate Medical Description: This project is a continuation of a contract titled "Development of USB Capability to the Sonivate Ultrasound Probe and Integration with the Tempus IC Professional". This product is a finger-worn ultrasound probe capable of performing generalized clinical ultrasound examinations and rapid trauma surveys to assess internal hemorrhage and cardiopulmonary function. The project continues the previous developmental effort to achieve, with the exception of regulatory clearance, Technology Readiness Level 8 and hardware refinement and to perform operational testing. Vivonics, Inc. Description: This project is a continuation of a contract titled "Development of Moisture Management Liner and Active Cooling System for Improving Residual Limb Skin Care". Development of a cooling device for the amputee prosthetic socket that regulates the temperature of the limb. This contract will refine the cooling module and fabrication kit for incorporating into an amputee's socket that were delivered as part of the previous Congressionally Funded effort. Vivonics, Inc. Description: This project is a continuation of a contract titled "Non-Invasive Intra Cranial Pressure Assessment Using a Compact, Portable Monitor". The objective of the proposed research is to assess the validation of a hybrid bedside/portable, ruggedized intracranial pressure assessment and screening system (IPASS) against external ventricular drain (EVD), which is currently used as the clinical gold standard for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with a head injury or disorder where ICP levels increase and, in turn, lead to an admittance to the neurocritical care unit (NCCU). University of Maryland, Baltimore Description: This project is a continuation of a contract titled "Early Support of Intracranial Perfusion". This effort builds on a 5-year project that delivered a hospital/center based real-time vital signs data collection system, which is in use at the University of MD Shock Trauma Resuscitation Unit. This contract will expand this system to build a decision support tool that uses the vital signs data transmitted when an injured patient is en route to the hospital to predict the need for blood transfusion upon arrival. SPR Therapeutics, LLC Description: This project is a continuation of a contract titled "Improving Functional Outcomes of Combat-Injured Warfighters by Relieving Post-Amputation Pain Using NerveSpace Therapy". Product is a non-opioid, minimally invasive pain management system that delivers an innovative form of percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation. This proposal would advance the project through the final Phase III trial required to obtain FDA clearance. ROM Development Corporation Description: This project is a continuation of a contract titled "Joint Warfighter: ‘Shelter of the Future'". This effort applies novel/composite materials to Expandable ISO Rigid Wall Shelters that impacts the overall weight, cost, and durability of the shelter components. This proposal will develop a full composite one or two sided Expandable ISO Rigid Wall Shelters that meets new/existing stacking requirements. As directed by Congress in the FY2016 Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act, Public Law 114-113, page 278 of House Report 114-139 states that $45M "shall be used to augment and accelerate high priority Department of Defense (DoD) and Service medical requirements and to continue prior year initiatives that are close to achieving their objectives and yielding a benefit to military medicine. The funds shall not be used for new projects or for basic research." For this reason, it was determined that the cited statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is supported and required. This Bill essentially limits the competition to contractors that have existing Congressional Special Interest Research Projects (contracts or assistance agreements) and have a military relevance. The Bill also states that funds shall be awarded at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense following a review of medical research and development gaps. The strategy in executing the JWMRP was to find highly valued research efforts on research grants or contracts that could meet critical service requirements and that were not being continued through other appropriations. This notice is provided solely as information to the marketplace. CONTACT INFORMATION: Questions may be submitted to Mr. Doug Medcalf at douglas.a.medcalf.civ@mail.mil no later than the close of business 31 August 2016.
