E-MAIL: Contract Specialist's e-mail address, campbellj@quantico.usmc.mil. 17. The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) is requesting information for the Multi Purpose Health Services Facility (MPHSF). NO SOLICITATION EXISTS AT THIS TIME. The U.S. Marine Corps is conducting market research to seek sources, contract vehicles, technical information and approximate costing for the MPHSF. (a) The MPHSF will provide a self contained, rapidly deployable, small foot print facility capable of providing trauma management, resuscitative surgery, ancillary services i.e.(sick call, lab, pharmacy, X-ray, Preventive medicine and dental), and temporary patient holding. The MPHSF system will be a compact, modular structure that quickly expands to a housed, self contained space capable of providing patient flow and treatment from triage to surgery to post-operative care to evacuation. The MPHSF will allow at sea adaptability (plug and play) to adjust the Health Service Support (HSS) requirements to the tactical situation ashore. The MPHSF primary mission is to provide emergency surgery from a self contained facility that is light weight, rapidly deployable, presents a small footprint and can operate in a expeditionary environment. These modular units must have the capability to connect together and be used in a variety of operational scenarios. (b) The MPHSF system must be supported within the existing Department of the Navy three-level maintenance concept (organizational, intermediate, and depot) using common tools and general-purpose test equipment to the maximum extent possible. The MPHSF must be supportable within the Marine Corps supply system. (c) The MPHSF must be capable of being delivered to the objective area by air (C-130, CH-53E, CH-46, and MV-22); land (Marine Logistics Vehicle Systems); and sea (Landing Craft, Air Cushion and Landing Craft Utility). Upon arrival at the forward operating area, the MPHSF must provide a self-contained facility for immediate life saving capability to the Marine Air Ground Taskforce (MAGTF) on a continuous 24-hour basis. The MPHSF must have a minimum mission duration of 72 hours without re-supply. The MPHSF must be able to provide the same capability when augmenting or supporting military treatment facilities, Civic Action Programs, and during Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW). (d) The MPHSF will be used by Navy Medical personnel (officer and enlisted) to provide care across the Spectrum of HSS from immediate life threatening emergencies, to routine care and preventive medicine. (e) Climatic conditions. The MPHSF must be operational and maintainable in all types of climates, weather, and terrain where Marines deploy. The MPHSF must be capable of storage during full time exposure to temperatures ranging from minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (F) to 125 degrees F (minus 29 degrees Celsius ( C ) to 52 degrees C) and subsequent employment without degradation. (f) Terrain. The MPHSF must be transportable on highways, gravel roads and unimproved surfaces including but not limited to, sand, swamp, grasslands, forests, jungles, mountains, and desert. (g) Dimensions -- Core 10' x 5' x 5' threshold, 10' x 4'9" x 4'9" objective, Expanded unit: 17' x 15' x 6'6" threshold, 20' x 17' x 6'6" objective. Payload -- Core empty: 3,500 lbs. (1590 kg) threshold 2,500 (1136 kg.) objective. (h) Combat Requirements. The MPHSF must: be capable of self-leveling on a 6 percent slope. Have the capability to be air delivered via parachute without component damage. Be capable of being transported internally or externally by medium or heavy lift helicopters and the MV-22. Be capable of being loaded, stowed, and disembarked onboard amphibious and Maritime Propositioned Ships (MPF) ships using Material Handling Equipment currently in the Marine Corps Inventory. Be capable of being moved into position, off loaded and set up by the MPHSF crew (not to exceed 10 personnel). Be compatible with Marine Corp organic potable water and electrical sources and be capable of being re-supplied without interrupting operations. The MPHSF must be powered by field generators organic to the MAGTFthat operate on kerosene based fuel. The MPHSF must be compatible with standard garrison electrical sources, and must be capable of adapting to foreign power sources. Support expected power draw of 10KW for emergency surgery and 3KW-5KW for routine and MOOTW operations. The MPHSF must have a minimum of 14 electrical outlets to support equipment included in the MPHSF and any accessory equipment. Provide an effective patient flow pattern for triage, surgery, Post-op-and patient holding. Accept the same equipment and supply capability as the present HS system (Authorized Medical/Dental Allowance List AMAL/ADAL) and easily adapt to future medical l technologies without design changes. Unit shall contain supply cabinets that are accessible for change out while embarked aboard ship. Be capable of full operations within 30 minutes of arrival in the operating area and with the ability to be reconfigured for redeployment in 30 minutes using the 10 man MPHFS crew. Be capable of providing full defense against Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical hazards. The MPHFS must accommodate full operations while personnel are wearing full NBC protective equipment, Mission Oriented Protective Posture IV. Provide a climate control system for operations in summer (85 to 115 degrees F) and winter (-10 to 35 degrees F) climates in the following temperature ranges: -50 degrees F (10 degrees C) winter (threshold), -- 60 degrees F (16 degrees C) winter (objective), -70 degrees F (21 degrees C) summer (threshold), -- 65 degrees F (18 degrees C) summer (objective). Chemical agents used to protect this equipment and aid in its decontamination must meet Environmental Protective Agency requirement in effect at contract award, as well as other federal, state and local regulations with respect to Volatile Organic Compounds heavy metals, and other factors. The MPHSF must be capable of being decontaminated without the use of corrosive chemicals. (i) Operators. The MPHSF must be able to be erected by all Navy Medical personnel, officer and enlisted. Maintenance Personnel. The MPHSF will be maintained by a Qualified Biomedical Equipment Systems Technician (HM 8479). (j) The MPHSF must be capable of integrating current and future standard medical and evacuation logistics and new emerging C4I technology i.e. Patient Information Card (PIC) and Tele-medicine. The MPHSF must provide an interoperable health service facility that meets the requirements for the U. S. Army, U. S. Navy, U. S. Air Force, U. S. Coast Guard, and civilian agencies that provide a medical first response capability, i. e., Federal Emergency Management Agency. THIS REQUEST IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY.
