81 -- CUSTOM INFLIGHT MEDICAL KITS SOL FOM-03-97 DUE 031497 POC Mary M. Boyd This specification describes the main supply case used for the In-flight Medical Kit. The case is used to organize, protect, and transport medical supplies. The case also incorporates features to secure it to the aircraft during flight.The In-flight Medical Kit replaces the unique packaging and organization of supplies by individual aeromedical evacuation squadrons. Aeromedical doctrine makes it possible for performing a mission with personnel from different squadrons. Unit unique handling of supplies does not support this scenario. The In-flight Medical Kit defines a standard design of hard and soft-sided cases to be used by all Guard, Reserve, and Active Duty aeromedical evacuation squadrons.The design interfaces account for the medical supplies carried, unique military aircraft environments, and procedural aspects of Air Force Aeromedical operations. As such, each item will be securely fastened to the aircraft. Handles, "O" rings, tie-down points, stitching and seams must be able to withstand forcesgenerated in an aircraft environment, and by rough ground handling. The kits may be secured to the floor, litters, suspended from sidewalls, or secured to other available structures as the situation dictates. Areas identified as subject to high abrasion are caused by dragging heavily loaded cases across asphalt runways, concrete, or other rough surfaces. The request for proposal is 100% Small/Labor Surplus Are Set-Aside (0030)
