About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking Abdominal and Chest Advanced Surgical Skills Package (ASSP) Simulator consumables for medical training purposes at the Naval Expeditionary Medical Warfighter Development Center (NEMWDC) and Naval Medical Field Professionals (NMFP). The procurement involves specialized medical simulation equipment capable of mimicking complex trauma procedures, including customizable wounds, hemorrhage control, surgical interventions, and point-of-injury emergency assessments. The vendor must provide not only the consumable simulator equipment, which must be compatible with existing human-worn cut suits, but also a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to support training scenarios. Potential vendors must demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities in medical simulation technologies and have expertise in preparing and executing sophisticated medical training scenarios. The pre-solicitation notice indicates responses are due by March 21, 2025, with vendors required to submit a capabilities statement and confirm SAM.gov registration.

The contract does not have a specific set-aside designation and is open to broader competitive bidding within the Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing sector (NAICS 339112). The requirement includes up to sixteen (16) training evolutions per fiscal year at NEMWDC and eight (8) training evolutions at NMFP, with the SME expected to provide comprehensive support during these sessions. Strategic Operations is noted as the current manufacturer of the human-worn cut suits currently in use, which the new consumables must be compatible with. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the complexity of the required simulator consumables and the need for an experienced SME suggest a potentially significant contract value. The SME must have extensive training on all ASSP versions, demonstrate the ability to prepare scenarios, adjust support dynamically, and brief training staff to maximize training effectiveness.

Notice text

ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS

NEMWDC and NMFP each have a requirement for Abdominal and Chest Advanced Surgical Skills Package (ASSP) Simulator consumables for abdominal trauma procedures and chest trauma procedures, respectively.  The vendor shall provide ASSP Simulator consumables and Subject Matter Experts (SME) up to sixteen (16) training evolutions per fiscal year at NEMWDC* and up to eight (8) training evolutions per fiscal year at NEMWDC.   

*Assumed that NEMWDC will hold two training evolutions per course

The Abdominal and Chest ASSP Simulator consumables are an expansion of human worn cut suits and shall be compatible with the human worn cut suits, manufactured by Strategic Operations, currently utilized by NEMWDC and NMFP. The ASSP Simulator consumables shall be capable of integrating with a human worn cut suit simulator to mimic Point of Injury (POI) emergency assessment and treatment processes with live human interaction. The ASSP Simulator consumables shall be capable of user customizable wounds.  The ASSP Simulator consumables shall be capable of simulating repair procedures including stenting/ligation of injuries of the aorta, common iliacs, external iliacs, internal iliacs and the inferior vena cava.  The ASSP Simulator consumables shall be capable of mimicking the following abdominal and chest trauma procedures:

Abdominal

- Hemorrhage control in all four quadrants by packing with laparotomy pads

- Bowel leakage control

- Suturing/stapling of the bowel

- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

- Gastro-colonic anastomosis

- Intra-abdominal exploration

- Ostomy formation

Chest

- Cross clamping of the aorta in an open chest procedure

- Partial pneumonectomy

- Stapling/removal of injuries of the lungs

- Hemorrhage control in chest

The vendor shall provide a Subject Matter Expert (SME) during training sessions due to the high volume of ASSPs required in an uncontrolled, field environment. The operation and proper usage of ASSPs in this type of uncontrolled environment requires a SME for operations and guidance due to higher acuity of patient scenarios.

The SME shall brief proctors and NEMWDC and NMFP staff as needed before and during scenario execution on the proper ASSP preparation and potential situations during training scenarios.

The ASSP SME shall have the following:

- Training on all versions of the ASSPs and Surgical Cut Suit.

- Working knowledge on all versions of the ASSP that will be used during NEMWDC and NMFP training support.

- The ability to prepare the patient according to prescribed NEMWDC and NMFP scenarios.

- The capability/experience to adjust support as needed during scenario execution; and,

- The capability/experience to brief proctors and NEMWDC and NMFP staff as needed before and during scenario execution to maximize training value.
