About this opportunity

This pre-solicitation notice seeks a virtual reality medical training system to be awarded on a sole source basis to SimX. The system must provide custom virtual reality training scenarios for special tactics medical personnel that recreate high-risk medical situations and align actions with treatment protocols. It must convert after action reports into additional training cases and enable remote collaborative training between multiple users. The system will be evaluated based on its ability to provide objective feedback on trainee performance. Proposals are due by September 29, 2020.

There is no set-aside designated for this requirement. The medical virtual reality trainer hardware includes 20 VR headsets, 10 gaming computers, accessories and carrying cases. The SimX software license provides unlimited remote support and on-site installation and training. The contract would be awarded under NAICS code 541511 with a PSC code of J019. The sole source recipient is expected to be SimX based on their existing and verifiable capabilities meeting the requirements.

Notice text

Manufacturer:  SimX

(Government intends to award a Sole Source to SimX - any offerors must provide verifiable/existing capabiltiies to the following requirement/salient characteristics)

Item Description:  Medical Virtual Reality Trainer

Requirements:

1. Virtual reality trainer/software provides custom-built cases of high risk medical scenarios that current PJs/IDMTs encounter and align critical actions with unique treatment protocols.  The system virtually recreates standard operational equipment, medical devices, and rucks/roll-bags, within the tactical scenarios thus allowing the user  to "train how we fight." and ensure continuity of training.  The system allows the user to continuously reinforce medical protocols and TTPs specific to our organization.  
2. Converts unclassified After Action Reports (AARs) and Complete Mission Reports (CMRs) into VR cases, which can then be disseminated across a networked training domain to enhance learning/training for the entire Special Tactics Enterprise.  PJ and IDMTs are able to immediately train on cases/scenarios from situations that current deployed PJ/IDMT's encounter ensuring that the situations are properly trained for on the next deployment rotation.
3. Product allows PJs/IDMTs in separate geographic areas to train together simultaneously in the same VR case.  This will enhance sharing of information, development of TTPs, networking/team building, and will also allow for a unified training methodology that is reinforced from initial training on through operational sustainment training.
4. Virtual reality trainer provides the opportunity for objective feedback on performance, which is essential to continued advancement of medical skills.  The cases are purposefully built to highlight deviations in medical protocol through an algorithmic decision tree.  This unique ability to provide feedback enhances the quality  and effectiveness of the training experience and allows for longitudinal tracking of performance over time.
