Surgical Skills

The Air Force Installation Contracting Agency, on behalf of the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command, is seeking qualified contractors to provide non-personal support services for the Special Operations Center for Medical Integration and Development (SOCMID) Surgical Skills Training Administration program located in Birmingham, Alabama. The contractor will administer and support a two-week Surgical Skills Training Program delivered 12 times annually to Pararescue (PJ) and Special Operations Independent Duty Medical Technician (SO IDMT) personnel, with key requirements including clinical rotation coordination at a Level I trauma hospital within 25 miles of Birmingham, trainee processing, training schedule management, documentation maintenance, and simulation-based training support. Required personnel qualifications include a Program Administrator with at least four years of relevant experience and a Simulator Technician possessing healthcare simulation certification and Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training. Interested sources must submit a capability statement of five pages or fewer by December 26, 2025, at 0800 CST to the identified contracting officers, and the submission should address company information, CAGE Code, UEI, SAM registration status, business size classification, relevant experience, past performance references, and organizational conflict of interest disclosures. The contract is classified under NAICS codes 611699 and 611310, with respective small business size standards of $16.5 million and $34.5 million.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside for any socioeconomic category. The University of Alabama at Birmingham has been the sole-source recipient of previous contracts for this training program, but the government is conducting this market research to identify additional qualified sources beyond the incumbent contractor. The Performance Work Statement specifies that contractors must support 42 clinical hours per student cohort and maintain comprehensive training documentation while coordinating with the civilian trauma hospital network serving the trainees. No specific award value or contract duration is disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials, though the recurring nature of 12 annual training courses suggests a multi-year commitment with substantial ongoing support requirements. The government anticipates that this sources sought notice will generate multiple competitive proposals in preparation for the eventual full solicitation.
