Tac-Med Manikins

The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is seeking sources for Tactical Medical (Tac-Med) mannequins through a sources sought announcement to support the 737th Training Group's Basic Military Training program at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. The procurement encompasses high-fidelity medical simulation mannequins designed for Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training, featuring advanced capabilities such as simulated breathing, intubation, wound management, tourniquet application, and remote control operation.

Interested contractors must submit a Request for Information (RFI) by December 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM Central Standard Time to Jack Caniglia at jack.caniglia.3@us.af.mil, with the understanding that this is market research only and not a formal solicitation.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business entities. The government is requesting six Upper Trauma Trainer Manikins (75 inches long, 169 lbs each), six Lower Patient Simulator Trauma Trainers (50 inches long, 80 lbs each), and two Female Modular Manikins with left leg amputation (5'10" tall, 158 lbs each), along with three days of new equipment training for 16 trainees and eight instances of an annual repair program. The RFI also includes requirements for shipping to JBSA-Lackland and requests voluntary pricing information from respondents. While no specific contract award value has been announced, interested vendors should note that all installation personnel must be U.S. citizens and meet security and Local Area Check requirements, and the government specification references indicate preference for products such as the TacMed Solutions Emergency Medical Trauma Trainer that have received SBIR and Governor's Awards.
