Prototype development for Battlefield Wound Infection Prevention and Treatment (BWI P&T) Barrier Combination
Solicitation # HT9427-26-R-E020
The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity is seeking proposals for the development of a Battlefield Wound Infection Prevention and Treatment Barrier Combination prototype. This product must integrate a physical wound barrier with antimicrobial and antifungal properties to prevent systemic infections in combat scenarios. The project aims to advance the technology to a Technology Readiness Level of 7 or 8, requiring the development of a working prototype, the execution of human clinical trials, and the successful submission for FDA approval or clearance. The final product must be individual, compact, waterproof, and maintain sterilization, with a preference for packaging that allows one-handed opening in low-light environments. This effort is being conducted under the prototype Other Transaction Authority 10 U.S.C. 4022, meaning it does not follow standard FAR-based procurement. To be eligible, offerors must be nontraditional defense contractors, small businesses, or provide significant cost-sharing. The estimated period of performance is 48 months, divided into three objectives: prototype demonstration, clinical studies and regulatory submissions, and final FDA clearance. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical capability, management capability, and cost, with payments processed electronically via Wide Area Workflow. All clinical research must comply with Good Laboratory, Manufacturing, and Clinical Practices, and be approved by relevant Institutional Review Boards and the USAMRDC Office of Human and Animal Research Oversight.

Interested parties can engage through two primary methods: responding to Active Capability Gaps (ACG) or submitting proposals in response to specific Calls for Solutions. The award process generally follows a multi-phase approach consisting of a Solution Brief, a Live Pitch, and a final Solution Proposal. Evaluation is based on a hierarchy of Technical Merit, Viability, Feasibility and Desirability, and Schedule and Price. All submissions must be unclassified, and the government does not reimburse companies for costs incurred during the initial three phases of the solicitation process. Key administrative requirements include mandatory registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and the use of the Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) for invoicing. Security requirements mandate that all government data reside within the exclusive legal jurisdiction of the United States. Solution Briefs are strictly limited to five written pages in 12-point font or fifteen briefing slides and must be submitted as a single PDF document.
