ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS

NEMWDC and NMFP each have a requirement for Abdominal and Chest Advanced Surgical Skills Package (ASSP) Simulator consumables for abdominal trauma procedures and chest trauma procedures, respectively. The vendor shall provide ASSP Simulator consumables and Subject Matter Experts (SME) up to sixteen (16) training evolutions per fiscal year at NEMWDC* and up to eight (8) training evolutions per fiscal year at NEMWDC.

*Assumed that NEMWDC will hold two training evolutions per course

The Abdominal and Chest ASSP Simulator consumables are an expansion of human worn cut suits and shall be compatible with the human worn cut suits, manufactured by Strategic Operations, currently utilized by NEMWDC and NMFP. The ASSP Simulator consumables shall be capable of integrating with a human worn cut suit simulator to mimic Point of Injury (POI) emergency assessment and treatment processes with live human interaction. The ASSP Simulator consumables shall be capable of user customizable wounds. The ASSP Simulator consumables shall be capable of simulating repair procedures including stenting/ligation of injuries of the aorta, common iliacs, external iliacs, internal iliacs and the inferior vena cava. The ASSP Simulator consumables shall be capable of mimicking the following abdominal and chest trauma procedures:

Abdominal

- Hemorrhage control in all four quadrants by packing with laparotomy pads

- Bowel leakage control

- Suturing/stapling of the bowel

- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

- Gastro-colonic anastomosis

- Intra-abdominal exploration

- Ostomy formation

Chest

- Cross clamping of the aorta in an open chest procedure

- Partial pneumonectomy

- Stapling/removal of injuries of the lungs

- Hemorrhage control in chest

The vendor shall provide a Subject Matter Expert (SME) during training sessions due to the high volume of ASSPs required in an uncontrolled, field environment. The operation and proper usage of ASSPs in this type of uncontrolled environment requires a SME for operations and guidance due to higher acuity of patient scenarios.

The SME shall brief proctors and NEMWDC and NMFP staff as needed before and during scenario execution on the proper ASSP preparation and potential situations during training scenarios.

The ASSP SME shall have the following:

- Training on all versions of the ASSPs and Surgical Cut Suit.

- Working knowledge on all versions of the ASSP that will be used during NEMWDC and NMFP training support.

- The ability to prepare the patient according to prescribed NEMWDC and NMFP scenarios.

- The capability/experience to adjust support as needed during scenario execution; and,

- The capability/experience to brief proctors and NEMWDC and NMFP staff as needed before and during scenario execution to maximize training value.
