Regional Procurement Office (RPO) - East intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Joseph Caluag, 2409 1/2 Carmona Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90016-2007, to create web-based software platform to deliver sustained attention diagnostic tests, host and collect data, collect and deliver millisecond precision stimulus presentation and response collection in Veterans in support of VA funded grant. Contract services will be for Base Year + 2 Option Years. Vendor has previously worked on developing software for web-based diagnostic testing and cognitive training programs for VA/National Institute of Health funded grants. The vendor effectively and efficiently completed the previous programming tasks at the highest levels of scientific rigor, which has produced several publication-worthy results. The time and effort required to train a programmer without this expertise will cause an unnecessary burden on the Principal Investigator as well as negatively impact the Principal Investigator s ability to complete work on his VA Merit grant Defining biotypes of PTSD with resting-state connectivity  in the established timeframe.
