Operational Medicine Test and Evaluation Cell Salvage Supplemental - (AFMEDCOM)
Solicitation # FA800326SS004
The Department of Defense, through the Air Force Medical Service and the Operational Medicine Test and Evaluation cell, is conducting market research via solicitation FA800326SS004 to identify capabilities for a cell salvage, blood conditioning, and autonomous return device. The objective is to find a portable, shelf-stable solution to treat significant blood loss and hemorrhagic shock in austere, expeditionary environments, effectively bridging the time to surgery without relying on donor blood or cold-chain logistics. This effort is categorized under NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing and is open to both large businesses and all categories of small business. Technical requirements for the device include a total system weight under 40 pounds, a volume under 8000 cubic inches, and a battery-powered runtime of 2 to 4 hours. Performance specifications require collection and return rates of 0 to 1500mL/min, the ability to heat 450cc of fluid from 2 to 37 degrees Celsius in under 20 minutes, and a priming sequence completed within 15 minutes by a single operator. The system must utilize FDA-approved or pending consumables, require no cold chain, and feature sterile packaging with a shelf life of at least one year. While not mandatory, there is a strong preference for man-portability and ruggedization meeting MIL-STD-810G standards for shock, vibration, and environmental extremes. This is a sources-sought Request for Information for market research purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals; therefore, no contract will be awarded directly from this announcement. Interested respondents must submit the required company and capability forms by November 16, 2026.
