This RFI is not expected to be a Request for Proposal or Invitation for Bid, nor does it restrict the Government to an ultimate acquisition approach. This notice is for information and planning purposes only and is neither to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. No evaluation letters or results will be issued to the respondents. At this time no solicitation exists; therefore, please do not request a copy of the solicitation. NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE.

It is the responsibility of any potential offeror to monitor this site for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. In far forward, pre-hospital, and combat situations, Special Operations Forces (SOF) require capabilities for urgent resuscitation to reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with major battlefield wounds and injuries. The deadly physiologic effects of hypothermia in trauma patients are well described in military and civilian casualty care. A lethal triad of hypothermia, coagulopathy, and acidosis results in 100% mortality when body temp drops to 32°C. The mortality of combat injuries who were hypothermic is nearly double that of normothermic casualties with similar injuries, with 80% of non survivors having had a body temp of 34°C or less. Even the presence of mild hypothermia (36°C to 34°C) causes substantial coagulopathic and metabolic disturbances with resulting increased morbid events, greater need for blood products, cardiac instability, delayed drug metabolism, and increased rates of post-operative wound infections. Preventing hypothermia is easier than treatment and needs to start at the time of injury. Warming Intravenous fluids and blood products is a critical early intervention.
