The Government intends to award a sole source contract to the University of Arizona. This contract is for the Advancement of Military Medicine for a research and development requirement.

The study will be a collaboration between the University of Arizona and the 59 MDW/ST Office to develop EZ-Phoenix, a hybrid web and mobile technology that enables CPGs for decision and procedure support to be converted without programming into mobile CPGs (mCPGs) and can execute as applications on iOS and Android phones and tablets. Development of the research study design was done by the University of Arizona and presented to the 59 MDW/ST Office to address the focus area to “identify and develop methods & materiel to move increased numbers of combat casualties both intra-theater and inter-theater.”
