2.0 DEFINITIONS

2.1 IDEO: Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis.

2.2 PDE: Posterior Dynamic Element

2.3 AFO: Ankle Foot Orthosis

3.0 SCOPE

3.1 The scope of activities includes the fabrication, and delivery of patient specific IDEO’s style posterior strut AFO’s. Once awarded, the contractor will provide the manpower, and equipment to conduct the fabrications on behalf of the C5 department according to patient specific needs.

The requirement is for the fabrication of thirty IDEO’s for C5 patients at Naval Medical Center San Diego. An IDEO is a high-tech, carbon fiber leg brace worn by patients which is designed to offload stored energy back up the body giving the patients power to walk, run, or jump. The department currently does not have the manpower (only 1 of 3 Technician positions currently filled) to facilitate the fabrication of thirty IDEO’s at this time. Without approval patients will continue to have a delay in care and future consults will not be able to be accepted. This could also result in active duty members having to be medically retired from the military.
