The RFI is issued by the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) under the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC), and the Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) at Fort Detrick, Maryland manages the potential procurement. No set-aside is used. Services would be delivered at Brooke Army Medical Center, Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, and St. Elizabeth Hospital, Edgewood, Kentucky.
The four objectives are recurring in-person clinical and surgical training for four military corneal surgeons in ocular surface stem cell transplantation, including pre- and postoperative management; weekly virtual case consultations training those surgeons in evaluation and treatment planning; weekly virtual consultations for an interdisciplinary group of one nurse, one optometrist, and military ophthalmology subspecialists; and a standardized educational module covering injury recognition, initial management, referral criteria, and longitudinal care. The scope covers chemical, thermal, blast-related, and complex anterior segment injuries.
Capability statements are capped at five typed pages and must address structured clinical education, surgical training, virtual consultation services, standardized educational resources, relevant experience, and expertise in severe ocular surface injuries. Responses go by email to Lindsey Arthur (lindsey.b.arthur2.civ@health.mil) and Justin Pickett (justin.h.pickett.civ@health.mil) with the subject line "HT9426-27-LBA-02-RFI." The RFI is for information gathering only and does not constitute a solicitation, and the source states that a formal solicitation may follow on SAM.gov. The applicable NAICS code is 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), and the PSC is U004 (Education/Training-Scientific/Management).
