Human Research and Biomedical Data Collection

The contract supports human research activities during subsea missions with a focus on cognitive performance assessment and biomedical sample collection. Key tasks include administering cognitive tests such as ANAM to evaluate mental function under isolated and confined conditions, and gathering, processing, and preserving biological samples including blood and saliva to study physiological responses. The research aims to gather data relevant to human performance in extreme environments, with direct applicability to spaceflight missions. The contract is structured as a subcontract under NASA Johnson Space Center, with performance expected to occur in the 77058 zip code area, indicating alignment with facility-based testing environments. Responses are due by July 6, 2026, and the North American Industry Classification System code 541611 categorizes this work under scientific research and development services, emphasizing its technical and analytical nature.
