Enhancement of Tactical Planning Tools in Support of Naval Health Research Center, San Diego

The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC), on behalf of the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), has a requirement for Research Support Services with the objective to develop, implement, use, and enhance the functionality of NHRC's Modeling and Simulation (M&S) tools. Such tools include: the Joint Medical Planning Tool (JMPT), the Medical Planner's Toolkit (MPTk), the Enterprise Estimating Supplies Program (EESP), and other military M&S tools to design medical course-of-action analyses and studies in a distributed web-based environment for the entire range of operations. National and Defense Planning Scenarios may be represented in the tool to address a variety of operational concepts. The contractor shall develop the specifications for enhancing JMPT and for establishing and enhancing a common user database where data elements can be updated, added, and available for use in a variety of medical planning and logistical tools. This includes defining and expanding the medical capabilities, determining the data elements and data relationships for forward resuscitative care and theater hospitalization required to conduct risk assessment, configure medical capabilities, evaluate emerging requirements, conduct mission rehearsal, and deliver training both CONUS and OCONUS. The contractor shall also develop a methodology and implementation algorithm of the died of wounds (DOW) due to delay of treatment. Performance includes, but is not limited to, the following services: - Develop, implement, use and enhance expeditionary medical knowledge warehouse (EMedKW). Manage medical modeling and simulation data sets, monitor for data integrity, and perform statistical analysis of these data sets. The contractor will maintain the data dictionaries and data specification documents. The data elements in the warehouse will be accessible by a variety of program applications including casualty rate estimation, medical logistics, military operations risk assessment, forecasting and other medical planning software. - Develop, implement, use and enhance the Enterprise Estimating Supplies Program (EESP). The contractor will maintain the data dictionaries, data specification documents and the web-based interface. - Develop, implement, use and enhance JMPT and MPTk functionality. This includes governing a Configuration Control Board (CCB) and maintaining an on-going database of desired enhancements. Enhancements will include integrating JMPT and the ONR HIT model into Navy war-gaming environments (e.g. Navy Common Training Environment) and other planning and execution tools. These tools will be designed and accredited to function in both a local environment and across the Internet. This would allow several people to exchange data, and share scenarios and reports. Identify operationally relevant reporting metrics (e.g., ANNEX Q) and implement enhancements to the reporting feature of the tools. Develop necessary documentation as described in MIL-STD 3022 (05 APR 2012) to support the continued accreditation of suites of planning tools. Additional authorizations include DADMS (Department of Navy Application & Database Management System) and NMCI (Navy Marine Corps Intranet) certification while complying with RMF (Risk Management Framework for DoD Information Technology) protocols. - Conduct studies, analyses, and reporting of military expeditionary medicine within the planning tool operating environments. Recommend and implement planning tool enhancements necessary to modify JMPT functionality, data structures, user interfaces, output report content, and format. Provide analytic and programming support for future operations in complex and distributed combat and Humanitarian Assistant/Disaster Response (HA/DR) environments anticipated for each of the individual services, COCOMS, at the joint OASD (HA) and Joint Staff level and other government departments such as State, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services. Present papers at professional conferences and support collaborative efforts with other organizations as needed. - Develop necessary software architecture and framework. Integrate the medical treatment modules into the larger campaign models including weapons effects and threat vulnerability models. Develop database structures, monitor data integrity, maintain database, integrate a supply generation model, and develop understanding of afloat and ashore, ship and vehicle vulnerabilities to address patient injury and treatment. Develop automated mechanisms for determining Injury/ICD-9/Injury Severity Score profiles for various operational scenarios from ship and ground vehicle structural model output and model weapons effects and medical resource requirements. Design, implement, integrate and test an empirically based enhancements to the casualty outcome module (died of wounds algorithm) of JMPT and other planning tools as required. - Theater medical network optimization technologies. Conduct directed research to examine, evaluate, design, and implement methods and technologies to optimize Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF) and theater medical network design. - Design and implement modular expeditionary medical facilities into JMPT. This task will include data, schema, and software development. - Develop training, outreach materials, and conduct training for the medical planner community of interest. Provide demonstrations and medical planning tool training at both performers' facilities and at DoD customer sites in CONUS/OCONUS. Develop and conduct training at the introductory and power-user levels to maximize medical planner ability to conduct risk assessments and medical course of action analyses effectively. Provide entry-level medical planners the ability to visualize the theater support requirements and to learn how to create medical estimates and supportability within a defined theater of operations. - Provide technical support including planning and course of analysis software to the global community of users. Establish and maintain a help desk support system. The system must provide monthly metrics that allow tracking of user incidents and resolutions. Implement and maintain an access-controlled software distribution system. - Provide technical writing, editorial and clerical support for the aforementioned projects to include editing, word processing, and project maintenance requirements and budgeting elements. - Upon completion of the required tasking, the contractor shall create a final report detailing the development, implementation, and use of all systems/tools. Additionally, the contractor shall provide the Government with all software, and developed training and outreach materials for successful transfer to Government personnel. The Government intends to award a two-year non-personal and non-severable services contract. The contract is will consist of a 24-month period of performance. This is not a new requirement. The incumbent contractor/contract number is Teledyne Brown Engineering / W911QY-11-D-0058 Task Order 0004. A history of access to SIPRNET at the offeror's facility is required. CONUS and OCONUS travel is required. If for any reason there are no successful proposals, the Government reserves the right to re-open the solicitation. Market research based on prior acquisition of requirements similar in nature and Internet research did not support setting this requirement aside for small business; therefore, the requirement will be procured utilizing full and open competition with no set- asides. The NMLC's Small Business Advisor and the SBA Procurement Center Representative concur with this determination. The requirement is being solicited IAW FAR Part 15. A solicitation will be posted on or about 24 July 2018 to FBO.gov. Solicitations are to be downloaded from FBO.gov; no solicitations will be mailed. All proposals shall be submitted per the instructions in the solicitation. Please email questions to contact@example.gov and contact@example.gov. No phone calls or faxes will be accepted. The Government reserves the right to change any information contained in this notice.
