AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity, on behalf of the Department of Defense’s Joint Program Committee 1, is planning to issue a Request for Proposals to fund research, integration, and development of an integumentary (skin) system designed for simulation training and education. This effort targets organizations that develop simulation systems incorporating physiological tissue characteristics and behavior measurements, which can be integrated with flexible, modular mannequin platforms such as the Advanced Modular Manikin and future modular part-task training devices. The solicitation encourages participation from entities specializing in synthetic materials, polymers, micro-technologies like micro-fluidics, and those with expertise or data related to measuring tissue properties and physiological responsiveness of human tissues. The acquisition will be conducted as a full and open competition under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, with the Government expecting to award one or two Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contracts with a 24-month base period of performance. The Government maintains the right to modify solicitation procedures or duration, and may reopen the solicitation if no successful proposals are received. The solicitation was anticipated to be posted in late 2017 on SAM.gov or FBO.gov, requiring all offerors to have current registration and certification in the System for Award Management under NAICS code 541715. Proposals must include a valid DUNS number and be submitted electronically, with inquiries handled via email only by designated points of contact.

Full Description

The U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), on behalf of the Department of Defense (DoD), Joint Program Committee 1 (JPC-1), Medical Simulation and Information Sciences Research Program, intends to issue a Request for Proposals. This requirement provides funding for research and development that will provide research, integration, and development of Integumentary [Skin] system for simulation training and education This pre-solicitation notice is targeted at organizations researching, developing, and offering integumentary simulation systems with physiological tissue characteristics and behavior measurements that will be integrated with a flexible and modular mannequin concept, such as the Advanced Modular Manikin (AMM), as well as future modular part-task training and education simulation systems which have yet to be developed. This pre-solicitation notice also encourages those working with synthetic materials, polymers, micro-technologies (such as micro-fluidic solutions), those that have researched measuring tissue properties or has access to such data / information, and those that have detailed understanding on physiological responsiveness of human tissues. This acquisition will be solicited as a Full and Open procurement utilizing the policies and procedures in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation. The Government anticipates issuance of 1-2, Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contracts. The contract is anticipated to have a 24-month base period of performance. The Government reserves the right to change the solicitation procedure and/or period of performance. If for any reason, there are no successful proposals, the Government reserves the right to re-open the solicitation. A solicitation will be posted on or about the middle/end of December 2017 to www.FBO.gov. Solicitations are to be downloaded from the website and no solicitations will be mailed. All proposals shall be sent to the address specified in the solicitation. Please email any questions to the point of contact listed. No phone calls or faxes will be accepted. System for Award Management: All Offerors submitting proposals must: - Be registered and certified to receive contracts in the System for Award Management (SAM) under NAICS code 541715 prior to submission; - Maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times during which it has an active Federal award or a proposal under consideration by any agency; - Provide its DUNS number on the proposal it submits to the agency. - To begin a new registration in SAM, please visit the SAM website at https://www.sam.gov, and go to "Registration/Update Entity" icon on the home screen.
