69 -- ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY SIMULATOR SOL N62645-99-R-0016 DUE 060499 POC Donna Blackstone (301) 619-2062 The Naval Medical Logistics Command intends to negotiate with Lockhead/Martin Tactical Defense Systems, 1210 Massilon Road, Akron, OH 44315-0001 on an other than full and open competition basis to procure a simulation device suitable for the training of endoscopic sinus surgery. See Note 22. This is combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation document; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Responses must contain sufficient documentation to establish a bonafide capability to fulfill the requirements. The request for quotation number is N62645-99-R-0016. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-11. The standard industrial classification (SIC) code is 3845. The small business size standard is 500 employees. The simulation device for the training of endoscopic sinus surgery must consist of a mannequin of the head, fitted with a haptic (force feedback) system to accurately simulate the surgical instrumentation as it interacts with the virtual patient's anatomy. A computational system for real-time display and interaction with the anatomy and ancillary software must be provided. The software for this system must meet three needs: a) Patient anatomy -- at least two different patient anatomies from the nasal entrance to the optic nerve must be provided, together with the anatomical variants such as paradoxical turbinate, concha cullosa, deviated septum and polyps. The anatomy must be capable of interacting with the surgical instruments to dynamically simulate dissection, bleeding, tissue and bone removal, and drug interaction in real time, b) Surgical instrument simulation -- at least 20 different instruments must be dynamically simulated both visually and in the haptic system, including varieties ofpunches, forceps, biters, micro-debriders and routers, as well as at least three independent viewing geometries for endoscopes, c) Pedagogical aids -- at least three levels of graduated exercises must be provided, including student scoring and records management, interactive video and audio assistance during the surgery, record/playback and CT tracking of the instrument within the patient. The simulation device must be Y2K compliant. In addition to the equipment needed for the above, the offeror must provide suitable office furniture (tables, chairs) for the use of the system.
