- Description
- Patient Rescue and Transport System The United States Army Medical Research Acquisitions Activity (USAMRAA), on behalf of the U.S. Army Medical Material Development Activity (USAMMDA), is issuing this notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract. This is not a request for proposals. This notice does not represent a commitment by the government to pay for costs incurred from the preparation and/or submission of data in response to this notice. This is a notice of the intent to award a sole source contract to Skedco in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This project is a continuation of a contract titled " Patient Rescue and Transport System ". The work will provide the following essential characteristics: Characteristic Description Current Patient Rescue and Transport System Modified Patient Rescue and Transport System (PWS 5.3) Ability to Deploy Under 1 minute Under 1 minute Restraint system Prevents patients from slipping/sliding while in the litter and secures the patient from moving during transport. Yes Yes Hoist capability Direction Can be hoisted in both horizontal and vertical direction Hoist in both horizontal and vertical direction Patient Immobilization & Accessibility Have a rigid form fitting full-body material surface that immobilizes the patient and does not interfere with airway maintenance while providing splinting for lower extremities. Has a rigid form fitting full-body material surface that immobilizes the patient and does not interfere with airway maintenance while providing splinting for lower extremities. Same but 15% improved patient access Durability Rigid material must be durable when dragged along the ground or rough surfaces as well as under elevated rope extractions (buildings and mountainous terrain) or hoist operations. Will last at least 50 (T), 75 (O) deployment cycles Yes Yes Hoist Capability - Tag line The tag-line shall have a breaking strength of 150 pounds (lbs) maximum for air-hoisting operations using rotary winged aircraft (the rope is 250 feet long and with the V strap that connects to the litter you can add another 3 feet. That means you have 13 feet more tag line than useable cable on the winch which is 240 feet. When the cable is out at full length you can still have enough angle on the tag line to prevent spin). Yes Yes Hoist Capability - Stability For hoisting operations, there shall be a minimum four point lifting system for stability of loads. Yes Yes Hoist Capability - Water Rescue The ability to inflate and provide a kit for stabilization of patients (head-up position) in salt and fresh water. Yes Yes Hoist Capability - Water Rescue Position For water rescue operations, the litter shall be maintained in a nearly vertical position in the water. It shall also have self-righting ability which maintains the casualties head above the water at all times. Chest pad for buoyancy is required which allows not only the casualty but also a care-giver to be able to float. Foot ballast is also required to assure that the head is always in the upward position. Yes Yes Restraining Straps Straps that hold the patient into the litter shall be rated to at least 4000 lbs. Yes Yes Rating The litter shall be rated to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) breaking strength standards of 15:1 for safety. The litter shall be able to support up to 300 lbs, which at 15:1 would be 4500 lbs static load for safety. Yes 8:1 is acceptable if 15% reduction in weight and patient access is improved by 15% Bridle/ Harness Rating The litter shall be rated to NFPA breaking strength standards of 15:1 for safety. The litter shall be able to support up to 300 lbs, which at 15:1 would be 4500 lbs static load for safety. Yes 8:1 is acceptable if 15% reduction in weight and patient access is improved by 15% Bridle/ Harness Rating for hoist The bridle/lifting harness for hoist operations shall be rated to at least 9000 lbs tensile strength (hoist in rotary winged aircraft is rated at 600 lbs). Yes 4500 is acceptable if 15% reduction in weight and patient access is improved by 15% Locking D-ring or device to hoist cable System shall use a locking device rated to 5000 lbs; i.e., Locking D-ring, to secure load to hoist cable. Yes 2500 is acceptable if 15% reduction in weight and patient access is improved by 15% Storage Stored in temperatures up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit Stored in temperatures up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit Stored in temperatures up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit Weight 20 lbs 15% less weight Strapping System Capability to restrain a patient in the Patient Rescue and Transport System Multiple straps Alternative strapping system using multi-point harness or alternative strapping techniques that is easier to use than the current straps and minimizes number of connections to restrain patient Operating Temperature Range Temperature range in which the Patient Rescue and Transport System shall be used. -60 degrees Fahrenheit to 140 degrees Fahrenheit -60 degrees Fahrenheit to 140 degrees Fahrenheit Litter Position during hoisting Litters shall remain horizontal in flight (during hoist operations). Yes Yes Care while hoisting For safety reasons, the litter shall maintain the ability for an accompanying medic to render Basic Life Support care during hoist operations (providing ventilations). Yes Yes Stowage volume The alternative litter will stow at 30% less volume than current litter (T), 40% (O) No Yes This notice is provided solely as information to the marketplace. CONTACT INFORMATION: Questions may be submitted to Ms. Jamie Diggs via e-mail only at jamie.l.diggs.civ@mail.mil no later than the close of business 29 August 2018. Telephone inquiries will NOT be accepted at any time.
