The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Natick Contracting Division is conducting market research to obtain information regarding the capability of companies with technologies that can counter the effects of opioids, across a wide window of intervention opportunities. MEDICAL COUNTERMEASURES TO TREAT/PROTECT AGAINST OPIOID POISONING IN NON-OPIOID DEPENDENT CASUALTIES Background. The high availability of synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl and its derivatives, is a concern to both the civilian and military communities. The onset of severe respiratory depression creates critical needs for 1) rapid administration of adequate doses of medical countermeasures (MCM) to reverse adverse effects, 2) MCM with sustained efficacy profiles to allow time for evacuation of casualty to definitive care within 1 to 2 hours, and 3) pre-exposure (i.e., prophylactic) MCMs to reduce or eliminate the need for post-exposure MCM while sustaining the casualty during transport to definitive care. A suite of MCM is envisioned to adequately address the desire to maintain freedom of action on a battlefield where opioids may be present. The long duration of action of many opioids, to include re-narcotization, makes it desirable to have MCM with comparable, or longer, durations of action. Requirements. The DoD is seeking technologies that can counter the effects of opioids, across a wide window of intervention opportunities.
