Scope: Federal

1.0 Overview The U.S.

Army Contracting Command (ACC), on behalf of Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Maneuver Ground, Project Manager Maneuver Medical Systems (PM M2S), is issuing this Request for Prototype Proposals (RPP) to solicit prototype project proposals for a modernized Anesthesia Workstation System (AWS).

This RPP is issued pursuant to the Other Transaction Authority (OTA) under 10 U.S.C. § 4022.

This is a DIRECT OTA and is NOT a solicitation for a procurement contract under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

Consortium membership is not required to respond to this RPP.

2.0 Mission Need & Scope The U.S.

Army requires a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) or Non-Developmental Item (NDI) anesthesia workstation system capable of supporting life-saving medical operations in austere environments at Role of Care (ROC) 3 with little to no modification.

The system must overcome the capability gaps of legacy systems, specifically regarding interoperability with Army Oxygen Generation Systems, heavy logistical footprint (weight), and proprietary maintenance constraints.

The Government intends to award one (1) OT Agreement for the delivery of two (2) prototype units.

These units will undergo rigorous operational testing by the Medical Test and Evaluation Activity (MTEAC) and environmental testing conducted in accordance with MIL-STD-810H.

Proposed solutions must be FDA-cleared for human use and Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant.

A high priority for this effort is organic supportability.

The Government strongly prefers systems designed to be maintainable by military Biomedical Equipment Technicians (BMETs) at the Field and Depot levels without reliance on proprietary vendor service contracts.

3.0 Follow-On Production Authority In accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 4022(f), this OT A...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
