This is an information gathering effort only and if further procurement action is taken, additional publication(s) will be done as required. Please limit your response to a maximum of fifteen (15) one-sided pages. Ensure each of the capabilities is addressed separately and in the order listed in paragraph 3 below. 1.Background The Headquarters Air Force Surgeon General (HQ USAF/SG) is responsible for medical war readiness of all personnel, equipment, and materiel to train, equip, and maintain for wartime support. This responsibility extends to major commands (MAJCOMs) and other support organizations within and outside the continental United States. This role spans from peacetime readiness maintenance to real-world deployments of medical personnel and equipment. Medical readiness personnel collect, process, and distribute medical data; command authorities use medical readiness information to support medical deployments. A requirement exists to establish a multi-command, remotely-available medical readiness decision support system using collaborative office features for medical personnel and war readiness materiel (WRM) assemblage management. The mission of Headquarters 554 Electronic Systems Group Medical Information Systems Branch (HQ 554 ELSG/SBG) is to direct and coordinate the acquisition, development, and sustainment of information management systems in support of medical business practices. Activities include needs analysis; requirements definition; coordination of design, code and unit testing; functional testing; implementation; and follow-on customer support. The SBG office develops and assures compliance with policies, directives, plans, and procedures for the control of all system procurement, development, and maintenance activities. 2.System Overview The system developed to satisfy this requirement, the Air Force MRDSS, incorporates all aspects of decision support required for management and deployment of people and equipment from MAJCOM and United States Air Force (USAF) medical views. MRDSS enables the USAF medical community to quickly and effectively monitor a unit's personnel/training and equipment readiness status in peacetime and wartime environments. Medical readiness and logistics planners more efficiently and effectively assess unit readiness and manage their assigned resources from a unit type code (UTC) perspective. MAJCOM planners determine deployment and employment requirements from operations plans (OPLANs) or operations orders, and then determine the readiness of the appropriate UTC for assigned or gained units. Planners use the detailed unit readiness data to make more accurate readiness decisions. The Air Force Medical Service (AFMS) uses the Medical Resource Letter (MRL) function to manage current ! and future AFMS UTC requirements. From these UTC requirements, manpower resources and materiel costs can be projected for current and fiscal out-years. Unit-level users monitor and update personnel UTC-specific, Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC)-specific, and Readiness Skills Verification Program (RSVP) training; assign individuals to UTCs; track deployed personnel and materiel; maintain Disaster Team assignments; and maintain unit Recall Rosters. Users at all levels can immediately assess materiel shortfalls (both War Reserve stocks and Homeland Defense (HLD)) down to the line-item detail and determine costs associated with improving readiness. AFMS AFSC Consultants use MRDSS to track and assess availability of Low Density-High Demand medical specialists to fill critical deployment positions. MRDSS provides visibility of information being reported by the units. Unit medical readiness and medical logistics personnel can use MRDSS to display the percentages of readiness capability for assigned UTCs; view materiel information; and update readiness personnel, training, and deployment information on the MRDSS Web server. MAJCOMs can edit their units' input to ensure accuracy and completeness. MRDSS is essential to proper USAF medical readiness operations and assists units, MAJCOMS and HQ USAF in managing and deploying medical personnel and materiel. In accordance with (IAW) Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 8500.2, Information Assurance (IA) Implementation, MRDSS is a Mission Assurance Category (MAC) II, Sensitive system.MRDSS supports all Active Duty, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard Medical units worldwide. 3.Description of Capabilities 1.MRDSS was developed by working closely with the Functional Analysts (Subject Matter Experts) using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 targeted application.
