Description: NA This is a sources sought synopsis. The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville has a requirement for furnishings and related support services to provide clinical and administrative workspaces through an Integrated Modular Medical Support Syst em (IMMSS) contract for the United States Army Medical Command (MEDCOM), Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Contractor must demonstrate the ability to provide furnishings sales, support services, equipment and warranty support to furnish clinical areas in Army medic al facilities (AMF) or Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF) in CONUS and OCONUS locations. Administrative systems and freestanding furnishings, seating, and accessories are also required. Additional responsibilities include warranty support, installation s ervices, transportation, storage and extended support services for a IMMSS. A more defined scope shall be included in the proposed contract under the statement of services. In general terms, the Contract will be applicable to all Army Medical Treatment F acilities (MTFs) throughout the Continental United States (CONUS) and Overseas (OCONUS). OCONUS locations will include, but not limited to Puerto Rico, Korea, Japan and Germany. The facilities basic functions are broad and support (but not limited to): h ospitals, medical and health clinics, dental clinics, veterinarian clinics, administrative and logistical facilities, it may further include areas for research, development, training and medical warehouse. The IMMSS shall furnish, as needed, all the follo wing prescribed areas: administrative, clinical, healthcare materials management and handling systems, pharmacy, laboratory, and nurse stations. The proposed product/s must be flexible with retrospect to the design intent and interior layout of the furni ture and interface with both new and/or existing sub-components and furthermore the product should not require modification or special tools for assembly. In addition all components shall be easily replaceable in the field. The products must be durable, maintainable, and provide considerations for safety features. All products must be approved and accepted for standard use by medical healthcare professionals. Quality shall be consistent throughout the lifecycle in all components of the product and servi ce. All textiles and office environment products available on the IMMSS contract must be proven to have been tested for indoor air quality emissions and therefore meet acceptable indoor air quality guidelines specified by the Environmental Protection Agen cy. To assure interchangeability and adjustability, products shall be mountable on panels, horizontal wall rails, interface rails and vertical wall supports. A complete product-line must be readily available which will accommodate the needs of the entire organization, from the multi-occupancy storage and dispensing, medical/clinical laboratory configurations, healthcare materials management, as well as nurses stations. Component systems from different component manufacturers are allowed, provided the sub -components are directly interchangeable without modification of custom adaptation and the characteristics and features of the multiple product lines must meet or exceed that of the designated primary product line. (For example, drawers from an administrat ive component system shall fit into the pharmacy or nurse station component system; healthcare materials management drawers shall fit into lab configurations and nurses stations.) In an effort to eliminate product obsolescence due to the revolving medical mission and demands of the technical environment the requirement for the interface, including compatible fabrics and finishes, of new component systems to existing systems is a mandatory requirement. (For example, an exam room must be able to be converte d into a doctor's office and vice versa). IMMSS contractor shall provide support services, ancillary, but necessary, to the successful furnishing of the clinica l and administrative spaces, such as: Design Services, Warranty and Product Protection Services, Restorative Services, KIN Maintenance Service, Project Management and Extended Installation Services.
