Invitation to Bid — Simulation & Training Equipment Minimum Technical Specifications

How to read this document The specifications below state the minimum acceptable technical characteristics for each item. A product that does not meet every listed salient characteristic for a line is non-responsive for that line. No manufacturer or brand name is specified; where a characteristic references a construction method or material, it defines a required level of fidelity, durability, or interoperability essential to the program’s instructional mission serving high school and college students. Bidders may propose any product, from any manufacturer, that demonstrably meets or exceeds every stated characteristic ("or approved equal").

Section A — Simulated Patient Monitoring Platform Lines A1–A4 must all operate on a single, common monitoring platform so that scenarios, CPR feedback, airway/physiology control, and auscultation interoperate across every station. Products in A2–A4 that will not natively integrate with the platform supplied in A1 are non-responsive.

A1. Tablet-based simulated patient monitor / defibrillator system — Qty: 8 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Tablet-based simulated patient monitor with a separate wireless instructor-control tablet.

• Displays selectable, brand-accurate monitor/defibrillator interface skins (multiple real device families) — not a single generic screen.

• Simulates, at minimum: ECG, SpO2, EtCO2/capnography, NIBP, 12-lead ECG, defibrillation and pacing display.

• Instructor-controlled wirelessly; supports scenario scripting and modular expansion (CPR feedback, auscultation, airway/physiology accessories).

• Licensing is a one-time purchase for lifetime use — no mandatory recurring per-seat or annual software subscription.

Basis for specification: A single interoperable, subscription-free monitor platform across all 8 stations is required for standardized instruction and long-term grant sustainability; monitors requiring recurring per-seat licenses or that cannot host add-on modules fragment the lab and create unfunded future cost.

A2. Real-time CPR feedback module — Qty: 8 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Wireless CPR sensor reporting real-time compression rate, depth, and recoil.

• Feedback must display on and be logged by the Line A1 monitor platform (native integration).

• Compatible for use with standard adult manikins.

Basis for specification: Must feed the A1 platform; stand-alone CPR pucks that do not report to the program monitor are non-responsive because they cannot support integrated scenario debriefing.

A3. Instructor-controlled airway resistance / physiology accessory — Qty: 8 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Wireless accessory allowing the instructor to simulate variable/adjustable airway resistance and obstruction (e.g., asthma, partial occlusion) during BVM ventilation.

• Usable with any manikin; integrates with the Line A1 platform; one-time license.

Basis for specification: Adjustable-resistance airway simulation tied to the A1 platform is required to teach graded respiratory emergencies; fixed-resistance heads cannot meet this.

A4. Simulated auscultation accessory — Qty: 8 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Simulated stethoscope with an instructor-selectable library of heart, lung, and bowel sounds.

• Integrates with and is triggered through the Line A1 platform.

Basis for specification: Auscultation must run on the same ecosystem as A1 for coordinated scenario control.

Section B — Hyper-Realistic Full-Body Patient Simulators The following are the program’s minimum realism standard. Every Line B item must meet all of the following common characteristics, plus the age-specific characteristics stated for that line. Injection-molded, rotational-molded, or general-tooling ("hard-cast") manikins do not meet these characteristics and are non-responsive.

Common characteristics required for all Section B items:

• Full-body simulator produced from a life cast / 3D mold taken from a real human subject (not injection-molded or general production tooling).

• Outer body of platinum-cure (platinum-catalyzed) silicone with hand-painted, multi-layer skin coloration and visible subsurface anatomical detail (e.g., veins, underlying structures).

• Anatomically accurate, cadaver-referenced internal airway supporting oral and nasal access, OPA/NPA, supraglottic airway, and BVM ventilation with realistic tissue resistance.

• Individually hand-finished; hand-punched hair where age-appropriate.

• Available in a minimum of three (3) skin tones / ethnicity options.

Basis for specification: Film-grade, life-cast realism drives the psychological fidelity, moulage capability, and patient-respect learning outcomes central to this program; hard-cast plastic manikins cannot replicate skin, subsurface detail, tissue feel, or scenario-matched appearance and are excluded on their face.

B1. Term newborn simulator (approx. 36-week) — Qty: 3 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Realistic full-term newborn dimensions and weight.

• Umbilical cord access, cannulatable with flashback.

• CPR-compatible; step-wise airway (BVM, OPA, supraglottic, ET).

Basis for specification: Neonatal resuscitation realism required for the OB/newborn curriculum.

B2. Pediatric trauma / water-rescue toddler simulator (approx. 3-year-old) — Qty: 3 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Submersible / water-rescue rated for aquatic and drowning scenarios.

• Integrated thoracic trauma features (e.g., bleeding, foaming, and/or vomiting effects).

• Supports needle decompression and step-wise airway management.

Basis for specification: The combined submersible + pediatric-trauma requirement is essential for water-rescue and pediatric-trauma scenarios and is met by very few products.

B3. Adult patient simulator (approx. 30–50 year, true adult weight) — Qty: 2 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Full adult body with realistic weight for lifting, extrication, and movement.

• Intubatable airway; bilateral humeral-head and tibial intraosseous (IO) access.

• Needle decompression sites; CPR-compatible.

Basis for specification: Realistic adult weight and functional ALS access points are required for lift/extrication and procedural realism.

B4. Geriatric patient simulator — Qty: 1 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Age-specific geriatric features (aged skin appearance, hair).

• Intubatable airway; bilateral IO; needle decompression.

Basis for specification: Age diversity across the patient range is a documented curricular need; geriatric realism is not available on standard manikins.

B5. Pre-term / premature neonate simulator (approx. 28–29 week) — Qty: 3 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Micro-preemie realism (very low simulated birth weight/size).

• Umbilical access with flashback; suitable for high-frequency oscillatory ventilation.

• Step-wise airway and CPR compatibility.

Basis for specification: Premature-neonate realism is required for NICU/neonatal emergency training and is produced by very few manufacturers.

Section C — Integrated Full-Body ALS Patient Simulator C1. Full-body wireless ALS patient simulator — Qty: 1 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Full-body, wireless ALS manikin with intubatable airway (oral/nasal, OPA/NPA, supraglottic, ET).

• CPR-capable chest with real-time compression feedback; bilateral humeral and tibial IO; IV cannulation site.

• MUST natively integrate with the program’s Section A1 tablet-based monitor platform for ECG, SpO2, EtCO2, NIBP, 12-lead, and defibrillation display and instructor control.

• Portable for in-situ / field scenarios; no live medication or fluid requirement beyond IV/IO limbs.

Basis for specification: Interoperability with the A1 monitor ecosystem is the deciding requirement: a high-fidelity manikin bundled with its own proprietary, incompatible monitor is non-responsive because it fragments the standardized platform and duplicates monitor cost already procured under Section A.

Section D — High-Fidelity Airway & Procedural Task Trainers D1. Realistic-tissue modular airway trainer — pediatric (approx. 5-year-old) — Qty: 3 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Proprietary synthetic soft tissue replicating live human tissue resistance for laryngoscopy and intubation.

• Modular, field-replaceable airway and face-skin components.

• Anatomically accurate (tongue, epiglottis, vallecula, vocal cords, trachea, esophagus).

Basis for specification: Realistic-tissue, modular-replaceable airway trainers are required for high-repetition intubation with authentic feel and low per-use consumable cost; rigid plastic airway heads meet neither the tissue-fidelity nor the modular-replacement requirement.

D2. Realistic-tissue modular airway trainer — adult torso (novice skills) — Qty: 6 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Same tissue-fidelity and modular, replaceable-component requirements as D1, in an adult torso configuration.

• Supports BVM, supraglottic, and endotracheal intubation.

Basis for specification: Same basis as D1; adult torso configuration for entry-level airway skills.

D3. Realistic-tissue modular airway trainer — advanced/difficult airway — Qty: 4 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Same tissue-fidelity and modular requirements as D1, configured for advanced/difficult-airway skills.

Basis for specification: Same basis as D1; advanced configuration for paramedic-level airway.

D4. Standard adult airway management trainer — Qty: 4 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Adult airway trainer supporting OPA/NPA, supraglottic, and endotracheal placement with BVM; durable for high student volume.

Basis for specification: Durable, high-volume entry-level airway reps; specified functionally.

D5. Critical / surgical airway trainer — Qty: 2 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Supports surgical cricothyrotomy and needle cricothyrotomy in addition to standard airway skills.

Basis for specification: Surgical-airway capability is a distinct paramedic competency not present on standard airway trainers.

D6. Neonatal intubation trainer — Qty: 1

• Neonatal-specific airway anatomy for intubation practice.

Basis for specification: Neonatal airway sizing required for the newborn curriculum.

D7. Obstetric / childbirth simulator — Qty: 1 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Birthing simulator supporting normal and complicated delivery, with fetal manikin and placenta.

Basis for specification: Full delivery simulation required for the OB module.

D8. Tension pneumothorax / needle-decompression trainer — Qty: 1 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Supports needle decompression at the 2nd intercostal space (midclavicular) and 5th intercostal space with realistic landmarks.

Basis for specification: Decompression landmark realism required for the respiratory-emergency module.

D9. Humeral-head intraosseous (IO) trainer — Qty: 3 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Humeral-head IO insertion with positive flashback.

Basis for specification: Humeral IO is a required ALS access route; specified functionally.

D10. Pediatric intraosseous (IO) infusion simulator — Qty: 3 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Pediatric tibial IO insertion with flashback and infusion capability.

Basis for specification: Pediatric IO access for the pediatric ALS module.

Section E — CPR Manikins & Related Consumables These are higher-volume, competitively available items; specifications ensure feedback capability and compatibility rather than limiting to a single source.

E1. Adult CPR training manikin with feedback (4-packs) — Qty: 10 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Adult CPR manikin with built-in real-time rate and depth feedback indicator/monitor.

• Supplied in multi-unit sets; multiple skin tones; replaceable face-shields and lung bags.

Basis for specification: Feedback capability is required for AHA-aligned high-volume CPR instruction; economy manikins without feedback are excluded.

E2. Infant CPR training manikin with feedback (4-packs) — Qty: 10 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Infant CPR manikin with rate/depth feedback; multi-unit sets; replaceable consumables.

Basis for specification: Same basis as E1, infant configuration.

E3. Manikin consumables — adult & infant face-shields and ventilation lung bags — Qty: 50-pk (as required) Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Replaceable face-shields and single-use lung bags compatible with the CPR manikins supplied under E1–E2.

Basis for specification: Consumables must fit the awarded CPR manikins; specified for compatibility.

Section F — Rescue & Casualty Simulation F1. Choking / airway-obstruction rescue vest — Qty: 20 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Full-body, articulated, weight-realistic rescue manikin with reinforced construction for repeated drags, carries, and extrication.

Basis for specification: Weighted, durable rescue manikin for patient-movement and extrication training.

F4. Casualty / moulage simulation kits (standard and deluxe) — Qty: 2 Required salient characteristics (minimum):

• Reusable moulage kits producing realistic wounds, burns, and trauma effects for scenario casualty simulation.

Basis for specification: Moulage realism supports the trauma and MCI scenario curriculum.

All specifications state minimum acceptable requirements. Bidders must document, characteristic by characteristic, how the proposed product meets or exceeds each line. Products that cannot demonstrate every salient characteristic for a line will be deemed non-responsive for that line.
