Adv Life Sup Aurora Manikin or Approved Equal

The Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG), specifically on behalf of Coastal Pines Technical College, is conducting an electronic Request for Quotes (eRFQ) for a one-time purchase of an Advanced Life Support Manikin or an approved equivalent. The primary objective is to acquire a medical training device capable of being ventilated by a machine and generating comprehensive respiratory patient scenarios for hands-on student learning. While the college has a specific preference for the Ingmar Medical: Aurora Manikin 60 00 100 P, they will consider alternative products that meet equivalent specifications. The procurement is being executed under the State Purchasing Act (Official Code of Georgia Annotated 50-5-50 et seq.), with the solicitation posted on March 17, 2025, and proposals due by April 1, 2025. Potential vendors are advised to thoroughly review the detailed Bid Specification document available in the attachments section of the Team Georgia Marketplace Bid Event. Technical assistance for system registration and bid document access is available through the DOAS Customer Service Help Desk, reachable by phone at 404-657-6000 or email at ProcurementHelp@doas.ga.gov, with support hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, excluding state holidays.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors are directly identified in the procurement documentation. While a specific vendor (Ingmar Medical) is mentioned as the preferred product, the opportunity remains open to "approved equal" alternatives, suggesting flexibility in vendor selection. The document does not provide specific budget ranges or precise award values for the Advanced Life Support Manikin procurement. Interested vendors will need to submit quotes that meet the technical specifications outlined in the bid documents, with the understanding that the procurement is a one-time purchase for Coastal Pines Technical College's educational training purposes. Potential respondents should carefully review all technical requirements and ensure their proposed solution can effectively support hands-on medical training scenarios involving respiratory patient management.
