- Description
- Walter Reed National Military Medical Center has a requirement to purchase procedural obstetric simulators. The Government intends to award this procurement on a sole source basis to Operative Experience Inc. because of its system's unique capabilities. Specifically, the system simulates situations such as hemorraging and other complications which routinely occur during the performance of a C-section and provides a unique ability to train physicians to handle such occurrences. Further, the simulators provide training involving very difficult situations such as fetal extraction, births where the cords are wrapped around the baby's neck, delivery of twins, obstructed labor, and breach birth. Also, the simulator is partially made of visco tissue which is hyper realistic and which has the physical properties which allow a surgeon to practice procedures such as incision, suturing, and retraction, while using standard operating instruments. This is particularly useful because usually cadeavor or animal models are not used in obstectrics training. The simulators also include a highly realistic bleeding and lubrication system which replicates the conditions encountered during actual operations. Lastly, the system provides the only emergency hysterectomy training simulator in the industry. Responsible sources not solicited for this requirement may submit a capability statement for the agency's consideration. However, prospective offerors are advised that the agency has authorized procurement of the simulators under "other than full and open competition" procedures in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. A copy of the J&A will be posted no later than 14 days after contract award.
