P -- TRANSITION OF A COMBINED TOXIC GAS LETHALITY MODEL TO AN INJURY MODEL SOL DAMD17-95-R-5026 POC Purchasing Agent, KATHY A. HACKLEY, ((301) -619-7437 The U.S. Army Medical Research Materiel Command (USAMRMC) is seeking organizations to perform the necessary research to develop a predictive mixed toxic gas injury model to include gases of military relevance; and combine the predictive mixed toxic gas model with the already developed predictive blast overpressure injury model. The selected contractor shall: identify critical biological processes which define sublethal injury and incapacitation for mixed gas injury; identify critical variables which affect the aforementioned biological processes; identify critical gases contributing significantly to injury; incorporate this information in a preliminary, predictive combined toxic gas injury model; combine a validated predictive mixed toxic gas injury model with an existing blast overpressure injury model. The Army expects to award a four-year contract. RFP DAMD17-95-R-5026 to be issued on or about 17 Apr 1995. Proposals due 45 days after issue date. (0076)
