DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: This is a non-personal services requirement to provide trauma education and training support services involving the use of live animals and cadavers in support of the Army Trauma Training Department (ATTD) in accordance with the attached Draft PWS. In conjunction with the trauma education and lab support services required under the attached PWS, the ATTD requires complementary/related support services to provide lodging, meal services, administrative office space, conference rooms and classroom space to support the training program, which the Government may procure separately. Although the Government has a requirement for a combination of services to support the trauma training program, the Government does not expect one entity to provide all components of the necessary services. The geographical location of the contractor's facility in relation to the availability of the necessary complementary services will be a factor in determining if the contractor is capable of supporting this requirement. The lodging support consists of a minimum of 11 and a maximum of 12 double occupancy, non-smoking, fully furnished rooms with two beds full-size or larger in a 3-star hotel or equivalent facility. The meal services support consists of a meal support package that provides three meals per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) for up to 25 trainees per rotation. The administrative office space, conference rooms and classroom space support consists of professional and administrative space sufficient to support 15 permanent faculty and administrative personnel with classroom and meeting spaces to support up to 30 personnel for training, meetings and classroom exercises and storage space for medical and office supplies. QUESTIONS FOR INDUSTRY: The Government desires that respondents offer responses to the following questions as they relate to the Draft PWS: (1) Does your organization currently provide similar services in accordance with the specifications in the attached Draft PWS to organizations within the commercial market? (2 Does your organization currently provide similar services in accordance with the specifications in the attached Draft PWS to organizations within the Federal Government? (3) Does your organization have a current GSA schedule for similar services in accordance with the specifications in the attached Draft PWS?

Please provide the facility name and phone number.
