This Request for Information/Sources Sought Notice (SSN) is for market research, information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) or Uniformed Services University of the Health Science Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program (USUHS IDCRP). This RFI/SSN is being issued by USAMRAA on behalf of USUHS IDCRP, and is seeking sources to continue providing the knowledge, capabilities, experience and staff to provide the simultaneous execution of multiple interrelated non-severable observational and epidemiological research protocols. The simultaneous execution of multiple interrelated observational and epidemiological protocols include, but are not limited to, addressing issues integral to informing new and emerging clinical practice guidelines and clinical recommendations as well as modifying or updating existing standards for several different disease therapies, resolving high priority gaps for military operational infectious diseases and providing solutions to the DoD requirements-driven research management process and leveraging results of protocols to rapidly implement clinical studies. If capable sources are not identified through this notice, then USAMRAA intends to execute a level of effort and period of performance extension modification (W81XWH-22-C-0155) on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 to The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine Inc., 6720-A Rockledge Drive, Suite 100 Bethesda, MD 20817-1891. The extension will allow for the continuation of ongoing research and currently established protocol populations to prevent losses in existing enrolled subjects in follow-up phases of respective studies which would significantly impair the ability of future phases of research to be conducted successfully within the USUHS IDCRP. The contractor is required to be named on the IRB protocol in order to support the existing protocols.
