The CDP COBRATF is used to train first responders, as well as international partners, in Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Enhanced Conventional Weapons (CBRNE) defense under actual toxic chemical agent environment conditions. The COBRATF at Anniston, Alabama is the only civilian facility in the United States of its kind. Its modern design and engineering, air filtration systems, and state-of-the-art technology provides safe, realistic toxic agent training. FEMA/CDP has a requirement for contracted medical support services. Contractor support is needed to provide occupational health and medical surveillance; laboratory operations to conduct Red Blood Cell (RBC) Cholinesterase (ChE) testing; evaluation and stabilization of injured CDP employees and students; provide emergency stabilization and transport of students, contractors and federal staff resulting from an exposure to Toxic Chemical Agent(s) at the Chemical Ordinance Biological Radiological Training Facility (COBRATF); and other medical emergencies to a designated local area medical facility. The requirement is a reorganization of the contract mix and the breakout and segregation of tasks that will be made available to 8(a) small business concerns. Due to the very unique nature of the CDP congressionally mandated mission, to provide training support including the use of Live Nerve Agents. Specialized contractor services and skills are needed for contracted medical support services at the COBRATF. Medical personnel assigned to the COBRATF have a low risk potential for exposure to chemical and biological agents, but job requirements potentially involve the prolonged wearing of personal protective equipment (PPE) ensembles during toxic agent (GB and VX) and biological agent (ricin toxin and Bacillus anthracis delta Sterne) training operations and emergency response. All questions shall be directed to Mrs. Carolyn Keeseman, US Department of Homeland Security, Emmitsburg, MD. E-mail address Carolyn.Keeseman@dhs.gov.
