- Brief Summary: The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice (SSN) is to conduct market research to identify companies who possess the necessary capabilities and resources to support the requirements stated herein and to identify any commercial items that are available to meet the Government's need. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) Project Manager for Combined Arms Tactical Trainers (PM CATT), Product Manager (PM) for Medical Simulation (MedSim) has a requirement for the procurement and installation of systems and equipment that captures and records the demonstration of critical knowledge, performance, and skills. The requirement also includes a performance review component capable of providing pre-defined queries as well as Ad Hoc queries of the Soldiers' classroom knowledge and skills assessment in order to provide a complete review of medical skills application and to identify where continued areas for improvement exist. The Medical Simulation Training Center (MSTC)s are a standardized Army training asset located at various military installations worldwide, delivering effective medical training with a standardized training platform to better prepare Soldiers for application of medical interventions under combat conditions. The MSTC provides medical training and education on new battlefield procedures and equipment, while affording Soldiers the ability to provide comprehensive training in several formats such as the classroom setting, practical hands-on training simulation, trauma validation lanes, and distance learning. Each MSTC provides a medical skills training platform where Soldiers obtain sustainment and validate their medical skills in accordance with Training Circular (TC) No. 8-800, Medical Education and Demonstration of Individual Competence (MEDIC), and the Combat Life Saver (CLS) Programs of Instruction (POI). These MSTC POIs, are provided by the U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School (AMEDDC&S), which include Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) principles. This requirement will equip and standardize existing MSTCs with Medical Training Evaluation System (MTES) capabilities for 2,500 annual student throughput. At present, the MSTC program has fielded an Initial Operational Capability (IOC) of 18 MSTC systems. The minimum capabilities of the MTES are as follows: The software Medical Training Evaluation Review (MeTER) to support the MTES is Government owned with unlimited rights. MeTER will be uploaded into each hardware system, provide technical upgrades and update the content in accordance to current guidance from the U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School (AMEDDC&S). MeTER will run on a tablet personal computer for the purpose of training each soldier and a transportable computer to be used as a main server that will wirelessly interface with all the tablets within the same location. The hardware will include a CAC reader for the software to recognize whether the CAC inserted is an instructor or student, which would result in access to the correct databases respectively. All information and records will automatically be saved to a master data repository located in the main server. The hardware will be wireless secure, and follow the DOD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) steps necessary to achieve the required Authority to Operate (ATO) certifications. The MTES will include an Army approved Remote Network System to allow for distant management, control and configuration of each site. ACQUISITION APPROACH: The Government anticipates this procurement to be a Small Business set-aside. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Part 10, Market Research, the Government is conducting market research to identify companies who possess the necessary capabilities and resources to support the requirements stated herein and to identify any commercial items that are available to meet the Government's need. The period of performance will be a one (1) year base period with four (4) one-year options.
