VR Nursing Simulation Training Platform

The contract seeks the delivery of a virtual reality-based nursing clinical training platform designed to simulate real-world clinical scenarios aligned with the Next Generation Nursing (NGN) framework and the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) standards. The solution must include immersive, scenario-based learning experiences that replicate common and critical nursing situations, enabling learners to develop clinical reasoning, decision-making, and technical skills in a safe, repeatable environment. Central to the offering is the integration of debriefing tools grounded in the PEARLS methodology, ensuring structured, evidence-based post-scenario reflections that enhance learning outcomes and promote competency development among nursing students and professionals. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 611430, indicating a focus on professional and management training services. It was posted on July 31, 2026, with a response deadline of August 12, 2026, and is sponsored by Charlotte County Public Schools in Florida, though the physical location of performance is not specified. Despite the agency name suggesting a K-12 context, the nature of the procurement points to an educational or workforce development initiative tied to nursing program accreditation or clinical readiness goals. Interested vendors must be prepared to deliver a fully functional, standards-compliant platform with robust debriefing capabilities, and while no set-aside designation is provided, proposals must demonstrate alignment with institutional objectives in nursing education and simulation-based learning.
