- Description
- This is a notice of intent to increase the ceiling of Contract N66001-14-C-4016 to Wake Forest University Health Sciences, awarded by SSC Pacific on behalf of the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency Defense Sciences Office (DARPA/DSO) on 31 January 2014 for a performance period of six (6) months. This effort extrapolated the achievements of the REMIND program to circumstances that facilitated application of the memory prosthesis device developed for nonhuman primates (NHPs), to human patients undergoing surgery for brain disease conditions such as epilepsy in order to restore retention of item specific information necessary for cognitive function. This current effort provides a plan for demonstrating application of a pilot memory prosthesis in clinical human patients, and to achieve that demonstration within the shortest time period possible. The ultimate goal is to develop and apply the fundamental components necessary for human hippocampal prosthesis. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541712. Due to the nature of Research and Development efforts, DARPA could not have reasonably estimated the results of the research from this program, which has seen breakthroughs that will benefit from continued research under this current contract. This action includes a ceiling increase of approximately $999,567. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes and will be posted for 15 days. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested parties may submit comments in writing to the Contract Specialist, Mr. David Odne, Code 22530, SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific who may be reached by telephone at (619) 553-5199 or via email to david.odne1@navy.mil.
