2.0 BACKGROUND

The U.S. Air Force has a mission-critical need to provide advanced procedural skills training for its Independent Duty Medical Technicians (IDMTs). This requirement is for a one-day, high-fidelity procedural skills class designed to fill a critical training gap created by the removal of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) from the IDMT curriculum. The primary goal is to ensure every IDMT graduate possesses the foundational, hands-on competence and confidence to perform life-saving interventions in an operational environment.

3.0 REQUIREMENT OVERVIEW

The Government is seeking industry capability to provide a recurring, high-fidelity, hands-on procedural skills lab. The course must be structured to build procedural muscle memory and clinical confidence immediately prior to students entering their real-world clinical rotations. The estimated annual workload is nine (9) course iterations per year, with a class size of 16 students.

For a complete description of the required tasks, standards, and objectives, please see Attachment 1: Statement of Need (SoN).
