- Description
- The HQ 77th Aeronautical Systems Group (77 AESG), seeks sources from industry with the capabilities to design and develop a working model that would process United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) quality source water and produce United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) standard USP 27 quality Sterile Water for Injection (SWFI). The model's end process would insert the SWFI into traditional intravenous (IV) plastic bags to makeup IV fluids, such as Lactated Ringer and Normal Saline solutions, for use by AF Medical Service (AFMS) forces administering IV fluids to patients in field medical treatment facilities (MTF). The scope of this effort shall be to design and integrate medical grade components into a working model that produces packaged, sterile IV solutions at a rate of 10 to 20 liters per hour. The device should produce packaged IV solutions that comply with USP and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards. The model design shall be compact, portable, and automated for use in a deployed field environment. The period of performance for this working model effort shall be for approximately six months, culminating in a technical demonstration of the model and a detailed presentation of testing results of the design processes and IV output product. The USAF will reserve the right to conduct independent verification testing of the output products. Specifically, this Notice seeks the following information: - Whether your company would be willing to propose to a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) for the working model effort and a option of System Development Demonstration (SDD) phase; - Description of the capabilities and ability to produce a working model that produces bagged IV fluids such as Lactated Ringers, normal saline, half normal saline, dextrose 5% normal saline (D5NS) that meets USP and FDA standards; - Comments on additional technical questions of this Notice; - Rough order magnitude (ROM) for providing working model, and SDD phase; - How your company intends to ensure compatibility with current and future FIVR solutions; - A brief description of your company's business size and business status (ie. small business, small disadvantaged business, woman-owned, HUBzone, service disabled veteran owned small business, and HBCU/MI); - Whether you are interested as a prime or subcontractor and any anticipated teaming arrangements; and - For this type of work, whether the FIVR Subcontracting Goals, calculated on the basis of total subcontracting dollars, are realistic or attainable: Small Business 24% Small Disadvantaged Business 13% Woman Owned Small Business 2% HUBZone Small Business 1% Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business 1% If you don't feel the above goals are appropriate, provide achievable goals with your supporting rationale.
