About this opportunity
The United States Department of the Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to George Washington University (GWU) for conducting dengue research in Colombia. The contract opportunity, posted on April 2, 2025, with a response deadline of April 15, 2025, involves a research project focused on collecting and analyzing patient samples related to dengue infection. While the notice is technically a sole source procurement, the agency indicates it will consider responses from interested parties. The contract will be managed through the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, a defense agency responsible for overseeing naval procurement and research initiatives. The research will specifically involve prospective enrollment of dengue patients and the shipment of serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples to NMRC.
The primary objective of this research contract is to identify early biomarkers and correlates of dengue disease severity through comprehensive sample collection and analysis. The contract is valued at approximately $165,000 and will span two fiscal years (2025-2026), with a target of collecting samples from 200-300 subjects across three distinct collection periods in Colombia. Eligible contractors should have extensive clinical research experience, particularly in infectious disease studies, with preference given to organizations like GWU that have established research infrastructure and local connections. The research will focus on collecting samples from patients with varying levels of dengue severity, including cases without warning signs, with warning signs, and severe dengue cases. Key requirements include collecting serial patient samples at specific timepoints, gathering detailed demographic and clinical data, and ensuring proper shipping of samples with corresponding clinical and laboratory records. While initially presented as a sole source opportunity with GWU, the notice remains open to potential alternative contractors who can meet the rigorous research protocols and scientific requirements.
