The Department of Defense has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a hybrid-reality orthopedic surgical training simulator, designated under solicitation number W81K0426QA055, with a proposed start date around July 1, 2026. This sources-sought notice, classified under NAICS code 334510, invites industry feedback to assist in planning and future solicitation but does not guarantee contract award. Interested contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and have their entity’s NAICS aligned with the specified code prior to award. Responses including company details and capability information are due by May 12, 2026, and all inquiries must be submitted by May 8, 2026. The solicitation will be publicly posted within weeks on SAM.gov. The requested system aims to provide a radiation-free, realistic training environment for orthopedic guidewire navigation procedures under simulated fluoroscopy. Key technical requirements include an optical tracking system for real-time instrument positioning, a proprietary bar-coded guidewire for trajectory calculation, realistic computer-generated X-ray images, and physical anatomical models with haptic feedback that differentiate bone densities. The system must incorporate a synthetic soft-tissue layer and feature hardware including tracking cameras, a control foot pedal to switch simulated fluoroscopic views, and a pre-configured laptop with necessary software. Performance metrics such as procedure time, fluoroscopy exposure, and wire placement accuracy must be captured for trainee assessment. Additionally, the system needs to be modular to support various orthopedic training modules, validated by peer-reviewed research, and capable of distinguishing different skill levels. Respondents should provide organizational details including socioeconomic classification and identifiers such as DUNS and CAGE codes. Telephonic inquiries are not accepted, and no payment will be made for information submitted in response to this notice.
