This solicitation provides for the procurement of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) devices, and any additional items required to support the operation of these systems; including but not limited to system optional features and capabilities, consumables, accessories, training, training materials, maintenance, repair parts and upgrades. The NPWT device will be primarily utilized to treat open wounds by locally applying negative pressure to the wound site. The system shall consist of dressings, an evacuation tube, a collection canister and a computer-controlled vacuum pump. The computer-controlled vacuum pump applies negative pressure through the tube to the dressing, drawing off excess interstitial fluids from the wound. NPWT systems decompress the capillaries and lymphatic vessels, thus improving blood flow to the wound and reestablishing normal circulation of interstitial fluids; they are intended to promote healing of wounds (e.g., chronic wounds, burns) that are difficult to heal using conventional treatments.

The Government will select a single vendor as part of this standardization Request for Proposal (RFP) whose offer meets all requirements in the Statement of Work and is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The Government will evaluate the device’s ability to function successfully in an austere environment, to operate, achieve Safe to Fly (STF) and Airworthiness (AWR) release, the ability to sustain the device for the anticipated life of the device, and validate the device meets or exceeds the minimum essential characteristics.
