- Description
- The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) is excited to post this pre-announcement for a Request for Project Proposals (RPP) focused on the development of a prototype that supports the integration of medical data with the Air Force Research Laboratory, Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) suite of software and hardware in support of iMCCS-J. Background: The overall objective of the interoperable Medical Command and Control System � Joint (iMCCS-J) is to support the integration of medical data with the Air Force Research Laboratory, Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) suite of software and hardware. The Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK), for civilian uses, or Android Tactical Assault Kit (also ATAK) for military uses - is a suite of software that provides geospatial information and allows user collaboration over geography. ATAK was originally developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and is now maintained by a Joint Product Center. For more information on TAK: https://www.civtak.org/tag/product-center/ Prototypes being developed must integrate with current software and hardware devices being utilized within the Nett Warrior (NW) situational awareness (SA) and mission command (MC) systems for use during combat operations. A successful prototype will visualize medical data via NW devices within the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK), Windows Tactical Assault Kit (WinTAK), and Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) Servers. The iMCCS-J Medical Common Operational Picture (COP) will identify medical unit locations, unit capacity status, medical evacuation unit capacity status, and patient status.� At a higher level, the Medical COP informs the intelligence cycle through wound types and rates which communicates enemy effectiveness, supports trend analysis and enemy situational template. Solution Requirements: This upcoming RPP aims to establish prototypes with the ability to provide commanders at all levels with visual understanding of how medical capabilities are arrayed throughout the operational environment. iMCCS-J will ingest and visualize data to identify medical unit locations, unit capacity status, medical evacuation unit capacity status, and patient status. At a higher level, iMCCS-J will parse specific data elements from near-real-time operational datasets to inform the intelligence cycle through wound types and rates which communicates enemy effectiveness, supports trend analysis, and identifies the enemy situational template. These requirements are derived from the Joint Concept for Health Services, Joint Health Services Joint Publication 4-02, and the Army Health System Doctrine Smart Book. Scope of Work and Non-competitive Follow-on Work: This effort shall deliver an initial prototype submission package for the iMCCS-J to the Warfighter, Health, Performance and Evacuation (WHPE) Program Management Office (PMO) for submission to Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) and Nett Warrior (NW). Proposed projects shall demonstrate the ability to develop and integrate near real time data being captured from battlefield combat units, field medical platforms, and various Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF) data streams with the Department of Defense (DoD), and TAK suite of software.� A successful prototype will visualize medical data via field Nett Warrior devices within the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK), Windows Tactical Assault Kit (WinTAK), and TAK Servers.� It is preferred that Offerors have experience with and/or sufficient knowledge of the TAK suite of software. Potential Follow-On Tasks: There is potential for award of one or more follow-on tasks based on the success of any resultant Research Project Awards (subject to change depending upon Government review of work completed). Note that any potential follow-on work is expected to be awarded non-competitively to resultant project awardees. Potential follow-on tasks include (but are not limited to) procurement, fielding, and sustainment for the iMCCS-J system. Potential Funding Availability and Period of Performance: The U.S. Government (USG) DoD currently anticipates $5.8 Million (M) for this upcoming program. The USG may apply additional dollars for follow-on efforts via post award modification to any resultant awards after the evaluation and acceptance of work and cost plan. Dependent on the results and deliverables, additional time may be added to the period of performance for follow-on tasks. MTEC expects to make a single award to a qualified Offeror to accomplish the statement of work. If a single proposal is unable to sufficiently address the entire scope of the RPP, several Offerors may be asked to work together in a collaborative manner. See the �MTEC Member Teaming� section below for more details. The Period of Performance (POP) is not to exceed five years. Acquisition Approach: Full proposals will be required in response to this upcoming RPP thus reflecting a single stage acquisition approach. The RPP will be posted to the MTEC website (mtec-sc.org) and a notice will be posted on www.beta.SAM.gov to notify interested parties. The RPP is expected to be released in Quarter 2 of FY21 and will have a short proposal preparation period (approximately 30 days). MTEC membership is required for the submission of a full proposal in response to this upcoming MTEC RPP. To join MTEC, please visit http://mtec-sc.org/how-to-join/. MTEC Member Teaming While teaming is not required for this effort, Offerors are encouraged to consider teaming during the proposal preparation period (prior to proposal submission) if they cannot address the full scope of technical requirements of the RPP or otherwise believe a team may be beneficial to the Government. MTEC members are encouraged to use the MTEC Database Collaboration Tool to help identify potential teaming partners among other MTEC members. The Database Collaboration Tool provides a quick and easy way to search the membership for specific technology capabilities, collaboration interest, core business areas/focus, R&D highlights/projects, and technical expertise. Contact information for each organization is provided as part of the member profile in the collaboration database tool to foster follow-up conversations between members as needed. The Collaboration Database Tool can be accessed via the �MTEC Profiles Site� tab on the MTEC members-only website. MTEC The MTEC mission is to assist the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) by providing cutting-edge technologies and supporting life cycle management to transition medical solutions to industry that protect, treat, and optimize Warfighters� health and performance across the full spectrum of military operations. MTEC is a biomedical technology consortium collaborating with multiple government agencies under a 10-year renewable Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), Agreement No. W81XWH-15-9-0001, with the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). MTEC is currently recruiting a broad and diverse membership that includes representatives from large businesses, small businesses, �nontraditional� defense contractors, academic research institutions and not-for-profit organizations. Point of Contact For inquiries regarding this pre-announcement, please direct your correspondence to Dr. Lauren Palestrini, MTEC Director of Research, lauren.palestrini@officer.mtec-sc.org.
