The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source contract for one year to the Cleveland Clinic Foundation to conduct interdisciplinary research on treatment options for vergence impairments and strabismus in Parkinson's Disease patients utilizing subthalamic nucleus region deep brain stimulation. This project, supporting the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, integrates neurology, visual neuroscience, and computational modeling to improve visual abnormalities while maintaining motor symptom benefits. The work requires highly specialized ophthalmological capabilities, including clinical strabismus assessment and novel signal processing methods, which are uniquely available through the Cole VNL laboratory at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. This procurement is authorized under RFO 6.103.5 and 38 U.S.C. 8153, as the Cleveland Clinic Foundation is a primary academic affiliate of the medical center. The action falls under NAICS code 541690 and PSC AN11. Because this is a notice of intent for a sole source award, no formal solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov, although the Contracting Officer retains the discretion to pursue a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice.

Pre-Solicitation Notice for notice of intent to award a sole source contract. This is not a solicitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to negotiate a sole source contract for one (1) year to the Cleveland Clinic Foundation located at 9500 Euclid Ave, NA4 Cleveland, OH 44195 for research to establish treatment options for vergence impairments and strabismus in PD patients with subthalamic nucleus region (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. This acquisition requires refining the study design and hypotheses from a specialized ophthalmological and strabismology perspective to ensure robust binocular control data.
This interdisciplinary research holds transformative potential as it seamlessly combines neurology, visual neuroscience, and computational modeling. It has the capacity to yield impactful treatments for visual abnormalities in PD while safeguarding the positive effects on motor symptoms, ultimately enhancing the overall well-being of affected individuals. The research activities associated with this project takes place at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, and the Cleveland Clinic, and it involves co-investigators and research staff at each of those institutions. This project is important to the field of neurorehabilitation because it recognizes the potential of combining synergistic therapies to achieve greater benefits for patients and Veterans with Parkinson s Disease. The services required for this project demand a uniquely integrated ophthalmological and euroscientific skillset that is not available from any other source. The work hinges on advanced, highly specialized ophthalmological capabilities including clinical strabismus assessment, characterization of binocular control, subject selection based on ocular alignment phenotypes, evaluation of strabismus related visuomotor behavior, and development of ophthalmology driven signal processing methods expertise that is novel within DBS research and not found in standard neurology or neuroscience laboratories.
The inability to use the unique services that only the Cole VNL laboratory at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation can provide would be detrimental in terms of cost and ability to meet the project s ophthalmological, mechanistic, and analytic research requirements. Cleveland Clinic Foundation is the primary academic affiliate of the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. 38 U.S.C. 8153 allows for sole source awards related to research with VA academic affiliates.
Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to Contract Opportunities on SAM.gov. The applicable NAICS code is 541690 with a $19 MIL size standard. The PSC is AN11. The authority for this action is RFO 6.103.5 Authorized or Required by Statute. Interested persons may contact the Contracting Officer via email at annmarie.stewart@va.gov regarding this procurement. The determination to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

AJ12--Development/Production - Kidney GEC-Specific AAV Vector
Solicitation # 36C24E27Q0009
The Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing a Sources Sought notice to identify capable vendors for the development and production of a kidney glomerular endothelial cell specific adeno-associated virus AAV vector. This project, funded by a VA ORD Merit award, aims to create a homing peptide enabled vector platform to target the glomerular endothelium to treat kidney injury and disease while reducing off target transduction. The scope of work is divided into three primary tasks: the engineering and incorporation of targeting peptides into the AAV capsid, testing vector binding and internalization in kidney tissue slices, and evaluating the specificity and efficiency of the modified vector through bioluminescence imaging and in vivo biodistribution studies. Qualified contractors must possess extensive onsite resources, including BSL 2 laboratories, specialized DNA and RNA facilities, and advanced instrumentation such as the Agilent Fragment Analyzer and various qPCR platforms. Vendors must demonstrate proven success in animal and human cell vector delivery and maintain full compliance with AAALAC and FELASA health standards. The government requires quarterly reporting, weekly videoconferences, and biannual face to face meetings. All generated data will be subject to Government Purpose Rights, and contractors must adhere to strict federal records management and information security protocols.
