Box 14867, Research Triangle Park, NC, 27709 for the performance of the described requirement in support of the Naval Medical Research Unit San Antonio (NAMRU-SA), Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

The requirement is required for a critical NAMRU-SA requirement to provide the delivery of up to 60 (240 vials) doses of the PDHA Stasix and up to 48 doses (106 units) of the spray-dried plasma agent, PD-Plex, Resusix. The purpose of this requirement is to investigate potential improvements to therapeutic strategies for hemorrhage and hemorrhagic shock. NAMRU-SA will conduct hemorrhage resuscitation research evaluating multifunctional resuscitation fluids (MRFs). The Entegrion products, PHDA Stasix and PD-Plex Resusix, will be evaluated individually and in combination with other agents as part of a MRF. Previous studies conducted at NAMRU-SA have evaluated Stasix. To ensure consistency of data collected with previous studies and the utilization of historical data, Stasix® must be used again, permitting reliable comparison of the data. This is critical to the integrity of the entire study and can only be accomplished through the use of the same supplier. The period of performance for this contract is anticipated to be 36 months.
