About this file

This document establishes salient characteristics for a full-body decontamination mannequin required by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

The mannequin must be approximately 5 feet tall and weigh between 60 and 80 pounds. Material requirements specify that the unit be constructed from non-toxic material capable of accurately simulating a human body for decontamination training purposes. The material must withstand saturation in water and cleaning solutions, be easily cleaned and dried post-decontamination, remain durable in wet and outdoor environments, and feature non-electronic construction. Essential functional capabilities include full-body design for decontamination training and practice, an intubation head for airway management training, an IV arm with injection site for medical procedure simulation, durability to withstand decontamination practice and hazmat exercises, and the ability to accommodate moulage (simulated wounds/injuries). The salient characteristics were certified by Bryan Cain, Emergency Management Specialist in the VA's Executive Office, on May 8, 2026. The basis of design references the WMD/CBRNE Decon Full Body Trainer SKU 101-088FB. Per VAAR 811.104 and 811.105, the certifying official affirms that these salient characteristics are essential to Government requirements and will not restrict the acquisition to a single manufacturer.
