Purpose: Procurement of a medical trainer for TCCC for the 52d Explosive Ordnance Flight

Description of Requirement: Medial Trainer must support Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) instruction, enabling hands‑on practice of life‑saving interventions under realistic field conditions.

Must have properties:

Physical Characteristics– Anatomically accurate full‑body mannequin suitable for trauma intervention training with landmarks for accurate placement of the following medical treatments:

Tourniquet Application Hemostatic Dressing Application Junctional Tourniquet Application Nasopharyngeal Airway Surgical Cricothyroidotomy Treatment of Sucking Chest Wounds Needle Thoracostomy Pelvic Compression Device Application Initiation of IV Saline Lock Treatment of Penetrating Eye Trauma Assessment of Vital Signs (Pulse/Respirations) Splint Application

Trainer construction must be capable of repeated field use, indoor/outdoor. Weight range:

approx. 160+ lbs (to simulate realistic casualty handling)

Required Medical Training Capabilities-

Hemorrhage control capability: Tourniquet application points on at least two limbs, wound sites, (including junctional wounds) capable of packing, pressure bandage application and bleeding simulation.

Airway management capability: Head/neck structure enabling airway positioning and Ability to insert nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) and Surgical Cricothyroidotomy.

Respiratory interventions: Chest landmarks for needle decompression training, at least one thoracic injury site

Circulation / IV access: At least one site for IV or IO simulation (mechanical or simulated)

Head Injuries: Ability to assess and treat eye trauma and one facial wound.

Realism & Training Feedback Tactile realism for skin, tissue, and wound response Visual realism for wounds, bleeding, and trauma presentation Feedback mechanism (visual, tactile, electronic or instructor-observed) to confirm correct technique Pre-built scenarios which force the first responders to react to real-world trauma characteristics Tablet-based controls which will allow a scenario administrator to remotely initiate a scenario, and/or alter the circumstances/reactions of the "patient" during TCCC (medical care)

Portability & Setup: Mannequin must be portable by one or two personnel. No proprietary tools required for setup or operation.

Compatibility Compatible with standard TCCC medical training supplies: Tourniquets, Gauze, NPAs, Chest seals, Needles for decompression (training versions)
