COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF AUGUST 19,1999 PSA#2413Army Research Laboratory, Attn: AMSRL-CS-PR-AP, Abeerden Proving
Grounds, MD 21005-5066 A -- R&D INFRARED SYSTEM MODIFICATION AND IMPLEMENTATION SOL W813LT
9225-7017 DUE 082799 POC Jeanine Worthington, Contract Specialist,
410-278-6514, Jean Craig, Contracting Officer, 410-278-6517 The Army
Research Laboratory intends to negotiate with University of Maryland
Shock Trauma Center for Statement of Work, Title: InfraRed System
Modification and Implementation. This effort supports ARL's MedTeams
Program, which is a Congressionally funded initiative focused on
reducing human error in Emergency Medicine. As a key part of this
program, ARL initiated a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement
(CRDA) to develop a unique Infra-Red Communications System for
installation into MedTeams participating hospitals in order to evaluate
the impact of medical staff communications concepts on patient care.
Initial prototype system installation was undertaken at the University
of Maryland Shock Trauma Center which was completed in January 1999.
Personnel at the Shock Trauma Center completed a cursory evaluation of
the system and have discovered technical shortcomings that prevent the
IR communications system from being effectively utilized by Trauma Care
personnel. Recommended technical corrections have been identified and
the pending requirement covers the cost of installing the IR system
technical modifications within the trauma facility and implementing the
system under controlled conditions. Because of the unique circumstances
described, negotiations are planned solely with University of Maryland
Shock Trauma Center. Information received will be considered only for
the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive
procurement. Capabilities statement referencing W813LT 9225-7017 must
be faxed to Jeanine Worthington, 410-278-6522. No telephone requests
will be honored. Posted 08/17/99 (W-SN368481). (0229) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0003 19990819\A-0003.SOL)
