- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT REQUEST. This is not a request for proposals and does not obligate the Government to award a contract. The Office for Domestic Preparedness is conducting an end-user functionality and efficacy test for emergency response extrication devices and is inviting manufacturers to participate. The intent of the user test program will be to provide the emergency response community user feedback and evaluation of equipment based on utilization of each piece of equipment selected in scenarios that replicate, to the maximum extent possible, conditions that will be experienced in incident response. The results of testing will not yield a determination of what product is best, nor shall the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) endorse any product or manufacturer. The types of extrication devices being tested are ones that would be used by emergency responders while wearing Level A ensembles without motorized assistance to transport victims in a mass casualty event from the Hot Zone to the decontamination point in the Warm Zone. The tests will be performed at the CDP by evaluators from the emergency response population, representative of all disciplines of agencies and jurisdictions across the US. These evaluators will be actual users of the equipment in the field. The evaluators will be presented with specific scenarios and tasks to be carried out usimg the equipment. The scenarios will be tailored so that evaluated criteria can be objectively and subjectively assessed by each evaluator. Some of the criteria could include: usability, portability, train-up time, ergonomics, required manpower, maintenance, ease of use and practicality. If you wish to identify your particular brand/product for potential testing in this user test program, please provide in electronic (MS Word) format, your company name, address, point of contact, telephone, fax and e-mail address. Additionally, send device information such as specifications (e.g., length, width, height, weight, load limit, etc). reliabiity, maintainability, support supply, shelf life, durability, any special storage or transportation requirements, environmental limits and safety reports. Do not send your piece of equipment. Selected equipment will be purchased from distributors/suppliers ad the equipment is selected for testing.
