Description

The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center to provide pre-clinical research support for a funded VA Merit Award. The requirement includes method optimization, experiment performance, data collection and analysis, manuscript preparation, scientific dissemination, behavioral and neural signature assessments, and evaluation of targeted brain stimulation outcomes. Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center is identified as uniquely qualified because it serves as the academic affiliate for the White River Junction VA Healthcare System and has an established collaborative research relationship with the VA. The work relies on established scientific relationships and specialized laboratory and core facilities at both organizations to support reproducible research and translation of research findings. This is a notice of intent to sole source, not a solicitation or request for competitive proposals; responses must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government.
