Notice of Award Cadavers and Perfusion

The Department of Defense, through the Medical Readiness Contracting Office-West, has awarded a firm fixed-price, sole-source contract to Combat Medical Systems for specialized perfused cadaver lab training. Valued at approximately 43,000 dollars, the contract supports a military medical training exercise conducted by the 1st Medical Brigade to enhance live-field medical readiness for Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard personnel. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide two fully perfused human cadavers and expert perfusion services to create a high-fidelity, realistic lab environment for trauma and procedural training using reanimated tissue. Performance is scheduled for March 11 to March 12, 2026, at the Medical Simulation Training Center in Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. The procurement was justified as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii) and FAR 12.102(a) because market research determined that Combat Medical Systems is the only vendor capable of meeting the unique technical requirements for tissue integrity and perfusion quality. The action falls under NAICS code 621991 for Blood and Organ Banks and is funded via OMA funds for fiscal year 2026.
