Gaumard Scientific Manikin

Skagit Valley College is planning to issue a sole source contract to acquire a Gaumard Scientific Trauma HAL S3040.100 adult simulator package, including accessories, to enhance its EMS training programs. The selected simulator is distinguished by its rugged design, making it suitable for realistic outdoor and transport training scenarios that EMS students are expected to encounter. The contract aims to support emergency preparedness, response, and patient care training through true-to-life simulation exercises. The procurement is justified as a sole source due to the specialized nature of the equipment and the absence of comparable alternatives from other vendors, with an estimated cost around $62,588.31. The solicitation, identified as number 2025-SS-101, was posted on October 21, 2025, with responses due by November 5, 2025. The contract size is anticipated to range between $60,000 and $90,000. The procurement process is managed by Skagit Valley College, part of the State and Local Government Education (SLED) sector in Washington. The primary contact for this solicitation is Garrett Dahl, reachable via email at [email hidden] or by phone at [phone hidden]. This initiative underscores the college’s commitment to providing high-fidelity simulation training to improve emergency response capabilities among its students.
