A -- EXPEDITIONARY MEDICINE SOL M67854-98-R-2030 DUE 121598 POC Contracting officer; Ms. T.

E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting officer via e-mail., famosot@quantico.usmc.mil. The Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory (MCWL) is issuing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for research and development (R&D) concepts addressing areas relating to a new concept which has gained prominence in the area of sustainment due to the expectation of the isolation of units in the urban battlespace and the expectation of dealing with the immense indigenous noncombatant population. The MCWL intends to experiment with means to increase effectiveness and situational awareness with respect to expeditionary medicine, especially in an urban environment. R&D proposals addressing these areas from a variety of perspectives are of interest; for example, exploration of new concepts, techniques in modeling and simulation for scenario evaluation, hardware development, feasibility analysis, system integration, performance-based return on investment analysis, as well as proof of principle and concept demonstrations. Appropriate proposed systems may transition to a Marine Expeditionary Unit for operational experimentation. The complete broad agency announcement, including specific procedures to be followed for submission of the white paper proposal, can be found at the MCWL website at http://mcwl-www.cwlmain.org. Interested parties may also request a hard copy of the BAA by submitting a request, in writing, to the contracting officer, Ms. T. Famoso, at fax number 703-784-5826. (0342)
