NOTE: This project was previously titled "High Resolution Connectivity Profiles of the Human Vagus Nerve" in the Request for Information (RFI) posted on SAM.gov on 09Sep2021 and the Small Business Sources Sought Notice (SBSS) posted on SAM.gov on 11Nov2021. It is now titled "Reconstructing Vagal Anatomy (REVA)." There are no substantive changes to the Statement of Objectives as posted with the RFI and SBSS. This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice. This is not a request for technical or cost proposals. No solicitation is available at this time and requests for solicitation packages will not receive a response. No response to this Notice is required. The NIH Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) program was launched with the goal of catalyzing the development of next-generation peripheral neuromodulation, or “bioelectronic medicine”, by providing access to high-value datasets, maps, and predictive simulations. The SPARC program has a need for high-resolution connectivity profiles for human vagal nerves with special focus at pre-defined points of interest (branching points and potential sites of neuromodulation device interface), in support of Council-cleared activities for SPARC stage 2. A draft Statement of Objectives is posted herein. A Request for Information with a draft Statement of Objectives was posted on SAM.gov on 09Sep2021. A Sources Sought Notice with a draft Statement of Objectives was posted on SAM.gov on 11Nov2021. A three-year cost reimbursement type contract is anticipated with an award made on or about 01Jul2022. The anticipated period of performance is 01Jul2022 through 30Jun2023. The anticipated contract may comprise one (1), one-year base period and two (2), one-year option periods each of which may be exercised unilaterally by the Government for a potential total period of performance of 36 months (01Jul2022 through 30Jun2025). The solicitation will be issued on or about 26Jan2022 in an electronic format only, on this web site (https://www.SAM.gov). Offerors are responsible for routinely checking this web site for any amendments to the solicitation. No individual notification of amendments will be provided.
