OVERVIEW

The JPMO MMS has a recurring acquisition requirement for various virtual training devices to simulate the human body and canine in support of high fidelity medical training (i.e. scope of practice) and evaluations. The JPMO MMS will support Programs of Record (POR) as well as other U.S. Government agencies, and Foreign Military Sales. The JPMO MMS will fulfill multi-service and command level medical modeling and simulation shared training requirements by utilizing the VPSS WBPS contract.

VPSS WBPS will provide commercially available high fidelity simulators for realistic training to medical personnel in support of the entire continuum of care. VPSS WBPS will provide efficient, effective, and quality knowledge training device solutions to the US Government and partner nations worldwide (to include austere and contingency) environments. Objectives of the VPSS WBPS include:
a. Providing the enterprise with a strategic solution for procuring WBPS
b. Facilitating technical upgrades to support the evolving needs of the medical training enterprise
c. Supporting Government use of commercially available medical simulators where no single manufacturer is able to provide a full solution to a specific requirement

NOTICE OF INTENT

This effort will be solicited as a full-and-open competition under NAICS Code 333318 - Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). The Government plans to award the VPSS WBPS as a Multiple-Award, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with a five-year ordering period to provide the JPMO-MMS the ability to procure high fidelity simulators, new equipment training, and warranties in support of programs of record, customer medical training requirements, and Service/Command-level pre-planned annual purchases. This procurement is a commercial acquisition for deliverables of WBPS within the two lots, high fidelity human simulators and realistic veterinary simulators, directly corresponding to NAICS code 333318. Future requirements for low fidelity WBPS and stand-alone support services will be solicited separately. Deliveries may be to multiple domestic and foreign locations. The projected contract ceiling is $186 million.
