No award will be made as a result of this notice. The Government will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by the respondents to this notice. The notice is strictly for research and information purposes only.
The information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method including small business socio-economic set-aside possibilities and to determine the availability of qualified Small Business companies technically capable of meeting the Government’s potential requirement. All Small Business companies with the capability and availability to perform the requirement under the applicable NAICS code are invited to submit a response to this notice.
NORTH AMERICAN CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE
The NAICS code applicable to this requirement is 541990 All Other Professional, Scientific and Technical Services with associated small business size standard $14.0 million.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), one of the 27 Institutes and Centers of NIH, leads a broad scientific effort to understand the nature of aging and to extend the healthy, active years of life. The Laboratory of Behavioral Neuroscience (LBN) enhances understanding of age associated physical and biological changes in health and disease. The LBN investigates structural and functional brain changes and how they relate to age-associated changes in cognition, and factors that modify cognitive and brain aging.
The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) at the NIA studies age-related changes in medical, physiological, cognitive and physical functioning across the adult life span. The LBN studies age-related changes, including development of a variety of medical conditions and the effects of these comorbidities on physical and psychological health and resilience. Data from the BLSA is used by many of the NIA laboratories in the preparation of analyses, presentations and manuscripts.
This Small Business Sources Sought notice seeks to determine eligible sources with the capability and expertise to provide the required services stated in this announcement. The purpose of this potential requirement is to provide the knowledge and expertise necessary to perform the functions as stated in this notice. The LBN has a potential requirement for a contractor to provide the government with state-of-the art statistical approaches and analysis of white matter correlates of alterations in functional connectivity as well as functional connectivity correlates of white matter alterations. This project will use resting state fMRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) acquired by the government. Together, these imaging sequences provide new avenues for mapping human brain activity, including investigation of the functional connectivity and white matter integrity to better understand how networks of brain activity underlying cognitive processing change with aging and disease. The Contractor will develop new statistical approaches, including massively univariate analyses, for the combined rsfMRI and DTI data. The Contractor will provide the government with results of statistical analyses of the combined rs-fMRI and DTI data.
The LBN has established a database and image processing pipeline to perform customized processing of structural and functional brain images of participants in the BLSA, which utilize 3T MRI data acquired on the NIA 3T scanner. Customized script was developed for analysis of BLSA images and for further investigation of structure-function associations that will allow mapping of functional connections in the human brain. Project requirements consist of analysis and development of methods for statistical analysis of structure function relationships of longitudinal NIA BLSA images. The LBN continues collecting longitudinal BLSA MRI data on an ongoing basis, with approximately 300 sets of imaging data annually. In addition, tools for analysis of structure-function relationships including both temporal and spatial analysis are limited and require customization for longitudinal analysis. Such tools will continue to be developed and validated under any potential requirement resulting from this announcement.
This Small Business Sources Sought notice seeks to determine eligible sources with the capacity, capability and experience to perform the work cited in this notice. Such innovative methods include model II regression and regression calibration, for use in massively univariate inference with imaging data and the design matrix paradigm accounting for both random and non-random imaging regressors. Any potential requirement may utilize customized scripts previously developed in the pre-processing and statistical analysis of the multi-modal longitudinal imaging data, as well as other customized scripts written for BLSA data, and continuing work on BLSA multi-modal longitudinal image analysis. Work will consist of processing longitudinal multi-modal images for investigation of structure-function relations that are critical to the mapping of human brain activity and networks. The anticipated period of performance of any resulting contract is one base year, including four (4) option years, to be effective on or around September 30, 2014.
