Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Training for DOT's Protective Service Division (PSD)

The Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary has issued a Sole Source Special Notice for a specialized Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) training course for its Protective Service Division (PSD). The notice specifically targets the procurement of a customized two-day training program designed to enhance medical readiness for agents responsible for protecting the DOT Secretary. Strategic Medical Research and Training, Inc. (SMRT) has been identified as the intended sole-source vendor for this training opportunity. The contract is valued at $28,500 and focuses on providing advanced emergency medical techniques and preparedness training. The special notice was published on May 22, 2025, with a response deadline of June 8, 2025.

The primary objective of this training is to prepare PSD agents to provide life-saving emergency care in high-risk environments before professional medical personnel can arrive. The training will comprehensively cover CPR/AED certification, Stop the Bleed techniques, and immersive scenarios using professional actors simulating direct attacks on the principal. SMRT is positioned as the sole vendor due to their proprietary training methodology, which includes patented trauma simulation technology and training packages derived from US Special Operations Command's Tactical Combat Casualty Care protocols. Alternative vendors are invited to submit a Statement of Qualifications by 11:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time on June 8th, 2025, to demonstrate their capability to match SMRT's specialized training approach. The training will utilize realistic bleeding mannequins and advanced simulation techniques to create a highly effective learning environment for agents, focusing on critical emergency medical interventions.
