The Center for Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) has issued Sources Sought Notice BARDA-FY27-10192026 to identify innovative medical countermeasure technologies for the rapid triage of musculoskeletal injuries, such as fractures and soft tissue injuries of extremities.

BARDA is interested in ruggedized, portable units with sufficient battery life for disaster response, interoperability with electronic health record systems, and minimal training requirements for non-specialist operators. Potential acquisition strategies being explored include direct purchases, leases, or vendor-managed inventory arrangements. Interested small businesses and other than small business concerns under NAICS code 334510 must submit their capabilities statements by 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 18, 2026.
