GENERAL:
James A. Haley VA Medical Center, 13000 Bruce B. Downs Blvd., Tampa, Florida 33612, intends to solicit sole source to Lovell Government Services for a one-time service contract with Metabolon, Inc. for targeted metabolomics analysis of 104 total samples (64 plasma samples and 40 fecal samples) from a VA research study. This requirement is for an analytical research service only; it does not include the purchase of goods, equipment, software, or licenses.
BACKGROUND:
The project is titled "Amnion cell secretome mediated therapy for traumatic brain injury." The samples are from the aged VA r-mTBI/ST266 mouse cohort. Male and female C57BL/6J mice received repetitive mild TBI or sham injury at 3 months of age, followed by delayed intranasal ST266 or vehicle treatment beginning at 18 months post-injury and continuing for 4 months until euthanasia at 24 months post-injury/27 months of age. The delayed-treatment design models aged Veterans with chronic effects of prior neurotrauma and supports analysis of sham/TBI, vehicle/ST266, sex, and aged endpoints.
PURPOSE:
The purpose is to obtain quality-controlled targeted metabolomics data needed to support the VA research project. Metabolon will provide non-GCP absolute quantitation/measurements for a Short Chain Fatty Acid Targeted Panel (9 metabolites) in plasma and a Bile Acid Targeted Panel (21 metabolites) in fecal samples. The resulting data tables and analysis reports will support evaluation of metabolite changes associated with injury status and ST266 treatment.
SCOPE:
Metabolon will analyze 64 plasma samples and 40 fecal samples, for a total of 104 samples. The quoted services include: (1) Short Chain Fatty Acid Targeted Panel for plasma; (2) Bile Acid Targeted Panel for feces; and (3) biosolid matrix processing for fecal samples. Deliverables include sample analysis reports describing reference chemicals and matrices used, QC performance information, and data tables with sample results. No...
