This RPP is focused on creating a systems integration approach to developing an array of medical solutions related to evaluating and optimizing Warfighter prototypes for forward stabilization, resuscitative care, primary care, dental services and force health protection in support of the modernization of expeditionary medicine (EXMED), in particular for implementation on the newly envisioned navy Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) ships. These new EPF ships for medical are able to receive and treat casualties in littoral areas to meet mission requirements of a distributed maritime operation and expeditionary advanced base operations, which is anticipated in future conflicts with peer competitors. Role 2 (R2) care and advanced surgical support afloat in littoral conditions is currently not a Naval capability.
Current medical technologies are inadequate for surgical care aboard an EPF Flight II platform, not interoperable, and do not meet the requirements of the EXMED family of systems (FoS) Capabilities Development Document (CDD). Therefore, this prototype project is an innovative business arrangement for a system integrator to identify and rapidly test these expeditionary medical solutions. This RPP aims to establish an agreement with an organization able to provide the integration of technology, resources and expertise required to translate technologies related to Warfighter expeditionary medicine through the required development activities to transition to the Warfighter and the commercial marketplace. This RPP also intends to fund several prototypes to be advanced with this initial RPP, and includes the innovative business component of identifying, rapidly prototyping and testing additional medical solutions related to expeditionary medicine.
In order to modernize the DoD to be a ready and resilient Force, PMS 408 is seeking to build a capability through MTEC that is poised to rapidly advance prototypes related to Warfighter expeditionary medicine and transition these to both the Warfighter and the commercial marketplace as appropriate. This effort requires multiple prototype solutions (hereafter referred to as EXMED technologies) that address forward stabilization, resuscitative care, primary care, dental services and force health protection.
Funding Availability: The U.S. Government (USG) currently has available a total of approximately $800,000 for this effort, for direct and indirect costs.
Number of anticipated awards: MTEC expects to make a single award to a qualified Offeror to accomplish the scope of work.
Period of performance: The period of performance (PoP) is not to exceed 18 months.
