TCCC

48. Do you want the contractor to supply both the Combat Operator Trauma Kit and the Combat Medic Trauma Kit identified in the Performance Specification Annex, or are we to assume that you will be combining our kits with the Combat Operator Trauma Kit and the Combat Medic Trauma Kit that SOF currently receives from existing vendors? If you would like the contractor to supply these kits, to which module would you like them added?

No. The government will look to the sustainment module to provide items to replenish a depleted operator or medic kit in the field. The requirement is for the integrator to provide the specific items identified for like item replacement.
