Mission Command Systems (MCS) and
Army Medical Department Business Systems (AMEDD) instruction.

This is an amendment to the Request for Information for Instructional Services W81K04-16-T-00016 dated 9 June 2016. This amendment removes the requirement for a contractor to provide Instructional training on the AMEDD Business Systems-Theatre, Medical Communications for Combat Care Unit Level Administrator Course instruction, Battle Command Sustainment Support System and Microsoft Office Suite application and Defense Medical Logistics Support Customer Assistance Module (DCAM). This amendment also extends the response date to 22 June 2016.

The Healthcare Readiness Contracting Office Provisional (HRCO {P}) in support of the Army Medical Command is issuing a Request For Information (RFI) to solicit industry on commercial insight, performance-based solutions, best practices, possible contractual arrangements, and potential issues. In addition, we request that potential quoters interested in this requirement respond to the questions at the end of the RFI and also provide a capability statement as requested below.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. It is not a request for proposal, a request for quotation, an invitation for bid, a solicitation, or an indication that HRCO (P) will contract for the items contained in the RFI. This RFI is part of a government market research effort to determine the scope of industry capabilities and interest and will be treated as information only. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the government to form a binding contract. Responses to this RFI are strictly voluntary and the government will not pay respondents for information provided in response to this RFI. Responses to this RFI will not be returned and respondents will not be notified of the result of the review. If a solicitation is issued, it will be announced on the Federal Business Opportunities website http://www.fbo.gov at a later date, and all interested parties must respond to that solicitation announcement separately from any response to this announcement. This RFI does not restrict the government's acquisition approach on a future solicitation.

The HRCO (P) has a requirement for non-personal service requirement to provide instructional services in Mission Command Systems (MCS) and Army Medical Department Business Systems (AMEDD) instruction. All services shall be completed in in accordance with the attached draft Performance Work Statement (PWS).
