About this file
This document is an Attachment to a Request for Information (RFI) for Advanced Ultrasound Capability, issued by the Defense Health Agency's Operational Medical Systems (OPMED) Warfighter Expeditionary Medicine and Treatment Project Management Office. The detailed capability characteristics document outlines comprehensive technical requirements for an advanced ultrasound system, focusing on three primary assessment areas: general characteristics, software-related characteristics, and hardware-related characteristics.
The RFI seeks a commercial solution that can address medical data management, patient tracking, and triage enhancement, particularly for less skilled medical professionals in expeditionary settings. Key technical requirements include FDA clearance, network integration capabilities, AI-powered features like guided-needle placement and automated anatomical labeling, hardware specifications (size, weight, battery power), and advanced diagnostic capabilities beyond current Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) standards. The document provides a structured template for potential vendors to detail their system's current capabilities and future development plans across technological, software, and hardware dimensions.

Attachment 2 – Capability Characteristics
ADVANCED ULTRASOUND CAPABILITY CHARACTERISTICS
CHARACTERISTICS: The below are essential characteristics for an advanced ultrasound capability.
Instructions: Indicate if current system meets the characteristics for general, software-, and hardware-related components. If proposed system does NOT currently meet the characteristic, please include a brief statement/proposed plan if the characteristic will be met. Please note, if the capability is software-only, and hardware agnostic, information in the “Hardware-related Characteristics” table does not need to be filled out.
General Characteristics No.
Characteristic
Characteristic Description
Describe the characteristic as related to the system. If indicated N/A, please elaborate if the product plans to integrate or achieve this characteristic in the future.
Additional information, as necessary
| 1 |
| FDA |
| The solution should explicitly state its current FDA status, indicating whether it is planning to obtain, or has already obtained, FDA clearance/approval (FDA clearance/ approval should be attached). |
| 2 |
| Technology Readiness Level (TRL) |
| The solution should explicitly state its current TRL (See provided definitions). |
| 3 |
| Network Integration |
| Demonstrates the ability to integrate into existing commercial or military network infrastructures. |
| 4 |
| Network Connectivity |
| Describe if the system can turn on/off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. |
| 5 |
| Authority-to-Operate (ATO) |
| The solution should explicitly state its current ATO status. |
Software-related Characteristics No.
